Recipe Notes
Prickly Pear has anti-inflammatory properties, is beneficial for digestion and has long been used as a homeopathic treatment for headaches and hangovers. Because it has tiny hard seeds, the best way to prepare it is by cutting in half and straining it through a sieve. The stunning and tasty pink juice can be used in cocktails, syrups and sauces. 1 pound of prickly pears will result in about a cup of strained puree. Brush on chicken or pork as a grill sauce.
