Notes

To prepare prickly pear juice: The best way to peel the prickly pears is to trim the ends followed by slicing the skin down the length of the fruit. Now you can peel away the skin in one large sheet and free the fruit inside. Another way to remove the skin is to cut the prickly pear in half. Then use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from the two halves. Similar to how you might scoop out an avocado or kiwi fruit. Blend just long enough to break down the fruit, then strain out the seeds. Add juice to taste.
