Forumites with the knowledge................
We have today made a new batch of Prickly Pear Juice.
It is an itchy business lol
I managed to pick about 80 fruits(very carefully). This took about 1.5 hours. Then getting the inner soft stuff out of the fruit was another 3 hours. At first I was sitting downwind at my worktable but the wind sprang up and blew some of those extremely fine prickly hairs on to my skin. Lesson learned...LOL Clothes had to be washed and a shower taken after the event.
We boiled the pulp for an hour adding secret ingredients and then strained 15 cups of the pulp to make 3.5 litres of PP Juice.
So for those of you who are dropping in this year, PP Juice over Icecream will be an order for the day :o)
They have been poisoning this feral weed in our district and I had to drive around for hours to find healthy plants. No doubt it will become more difficult to find them in the future.
