Ingredients
Instructions
Take your de-thorned prickly pears and cut them in half. Scoop out the middles of the fruit and add them to a small pot with 3 cups of purified water, the lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of cane sugar.
Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. When the mixture thickens, remove from the heat and allow it to cool.
Take a soup ladle and add one scoop of the mixture to a strainer. (Make sure the strainer is over a bowl.)
Use a spoon to press the prickly pear mixture into the strainer to get all of the liquid out. Empty the strainer of the seeds and thick pulp and repeat until you do this with all of the prickly pear mixture.
Chill for a minimum of one hour.
