Hi there. I've managed to secure myself some prickly pears this year. I'm going to make some jelly, but I'm also going to try making "cider" out of the rest.
Does anyone have experience with prickly pears? The way I see it I can either make juice by boiling the pears in water to extract all the goodness (same way the jelly is made), or I can crush the pears and run them through my press. Has anyone ever tried this? My initial thoughts are the less processing, the better, and go with the crush/press option...
Thanks!
