Time P1DT58m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 4

27 prickly pears (cactus fruit)
¼ cup lemon juice
1 (1.75 ounce) package fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell®)
4 ½ cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Simmer 3 pint-size jars in a large pot of water until ready for use. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Slice ends off each prickly pear. Make 1 long vertical slit down each one. Use the slit to hold the skin and peel off. Discard peel.
  • Place peeled pears in a blender; puree in batches until liquefied. Press puree through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Discard pulp and seeds.
  • Measure out 3 cups prickly pear juice, lemon juice, and pectin into a large pot. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add sugar and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Let cook, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Pour prickly pear mixture into hot jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the stockpot, and process for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the pot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, and let cool, at least 24 hours.

TUNA ( PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS FRUIT ) JELLY



Tuna ( Prickly Pear Cactus Fruit ) Jelly image

A gorgeously colored, flavorful jelly. This recipe does not double well. It also calls for liquid pectin, but powdered seems to jell a little better. While this recipe is written in a relatively old-fashioned way, it is perfectly safe if processed using modern methods. If you are unfamiliar with these techniques, please go to http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/how/can_home.html for the current information.

Categories     Fruit

Time 40m

Yield 12 half pints

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lbs ripe prickly pears, enough to yield 3 and 1/4 cups juice from cooked fruit (cactus fruit or tunas)
1 (3 ounce) bottle liquid pectin
2 lemons, juice of
8 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Pluck the fruit from the cactus with a long handled fork or tongs.
  • Put on rubber gloves to protect your hands: wash fruit under running water, then use a brush to clean (spines left on the fruit will soften during the cooking process and should come off after the fruit is strained).
  • Place in stockpot with about a cup of water.
  • Stir until boiling, cover pan and simmer until tender and soft.
  • Mash cooked fruit and strain using cheesecloth, a jelly bag or a fine sieve; set aside for juice to settle (for very clear jelly, do not use the portion containing sediment).
  • Measure sugar into a separate pan.
  • Bring juice and pectin just to boil, stirring constantly, and begin to add sugar slowly with constant stirring, taking about 5 minutes to add sugar, and keeping juice nearly at a boil.
  • Then bring to a rolling boil and boil for three minutes longer.
  • Remove from heat, let stand a few seconds, skim, pour quickly into jars and seal while hot.
  • Process for ten minutes in a boiling water bath.
