Instructions

  • Add prickly pear pulp, sugar, water and lime juice to a small sauce pan. Bring the mixture to a low boil, stirring to ensure all of the sugar is dissolved, then lower the heat to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender, push through a fine sieve and let cool.
