Grilled Cactus....and some jelly
I don't think I've posted this here before.
Not sure if there are any Brethren who would be interested in salad and jelly. lol Sorry for so many pics!! in my pasture... prickly pear cactus... I hold them with pliers and scrape the thorns off with sharp knife... remove thorns.. corn, cactus, black beans, shrimp, scallions, jalapenos.. brush with oil and onto the grill.. shrimp on grill too.. slice grilled cactus... make dressing.. 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, 2/3 cup oil, minced garlic, 1 TBs dijon mustard , onion powder, salt and pepper to taste make salad, grilled cactus, corn, scallions, tomatoes, onion, black beans... Grilled cactus, shrimp and corn salad... make jelly with cactus fruit.. simmer fruit in small amount of water strain... sugar, pectin and lemon juice cactus jelly.. Just something different... Thank you for looking!

Simply amazing Jeanie! You are most definitely living right - you'll probably be getting a few more proposals this week.
I see cactus in the stores around here sometimes - never thought of buying any till now! Thanks for putting that up!

Cool post, and salad/jelly looks awesome. Nopales (cacti) are in all the Mexi grocery stores here, I'm gonna try some. Never really knew what to do with those.....
How do you know when they are done? Do they get really soft or...??? Thanks for the idea!

Now that is cool...Fascinating to a guy that's only seen cactus in a pot on someone's desk.
Thanks for sharing!
