Looks like it's going to be a good year for Jelly

The cactus is in full bloom this year and at the bottom of each bloom is a baby pear.  We all know what happens to those pears- they get bigger, riper and become Little Piece of Texas prickly pear jelly!!!!  How exciting to be able to harvest, roast and mash them all in one place this year.   Anyone ready to place orders????  Also for those fans of the mesquite bean jelly, I have a new place to get mesquite beans so we will have lots of that too! 



 




 This is really just a small sampling, the cactus is everywhere.  Good thing I found a use for the pears or these plants would be a pain in the ass (sometimes literally) because they spread like crazy.
