during the last week or so i've had my eye on these prickly pears by my parents' house in tucson. there are a bunch of ripe fruit on them in the street median near their house and i figured the county won't mind if i go and pick some of them. so i did. i made sure to leave enough for the animals by picking only a few from each cactus. here's what the last few looked like in my trusty bucket.
(forgive the date stamp on the photo - i'm using my parents' camera and i forgot to get rid of that thing!)
then i peeled them and cut them in half in preparation for the blender.
after that i put them in the blender, blended them and strained them.
tomorrow morning i will turn this into a sauce to put on top of the mesquite flour crepes that i will make. yum.
