HOW TO MAKE PRICKLY PEAR JUICE



How to Make Prickly Pear Juice image

If you have ever wondered how to make prickly pear juice, now is your chance. Prickly pears can range from gorgeous, prickly fruits with a berry-like taste to yellow ones with a tropical flavour. The juice is perfect to enjoy on its own or to blend with other beverages like cocktails.

Categories     beverage

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 pounds prickly pears (also called cactus berries, tunas in Spanish) (about 1.35 kg or 12 medium-sized pieces)
3 limes (optional, more or less to taste)
agave syrup to taste

Steps:

  • If you are picking fresh prickly pears from a nopal cactus, be sure to use thick rubber gloves or tongs to avoid pricking yourself with the glochids.
  • Before handling the prickly pears, brush them under cool running water to remove as many of the glochids as possible from the skin. (Store-bought prickly pears may already have most of their glochids removed).
  • To peel the prickly pears you still may want to wears gloves or use tongs in case of any remaining glochids. Cut off both ends of the prickly pears. Make a skin-deep incision along the length of the fruit. Now you can easily pull the skin away from the inner flesh.
  • Add the peeled prickly pears to a blender along with optional lime juice and agave syrup. Prickly pears are so juicy that I have never needed to added additional water to get the blender going. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour the blended juice through a sieve to strain out the hard seeds.
  • Adjust lime juice & sweetener if needed. You can drink the juice as is or diluted with water. It is also great in smoothies or margaritas.
  • The juice can be stored refrigerated for 2-3 days. To store for longer, fill the juice into an ice cube tray and freeze. The frozen prickly pear juice cubes can be added to water for flavoring, or blended into smoothies or frozen margaritas.

PRICKLY PEAR JUICE



Prickly Pear Juice image

Also known as agua de tuna, this is a refreshing drink on ice. If it's cocktail hour, add tequila or mezcal. Once made, it will keep a few weeks in the fridge. Left on the counter, it will ferment in a day or two.

Provided by Hank Shaw

Categories     Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds prickly pears
Water to cover
Citric acid or lime juice, to taste
Sugar or honey, to taste

Steps:

  • Remove the spines from the fruit, as noted in the text above. Put the fruit in a pot and just barely cover with water. Bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, and when it cools enough to work with, mash everything with a potato masher.
  • Run the mash through a food mill, or of you don't have one, push it through a colander with a rubber spatula. You need to get rid of the many seeds. Once that's done, strain the mash through a fine sieve, pushing it through with a rubber spatula. If you want a very clear juice, run that one more time through a sieve with a paper towel set inside it, and do not push it through -- just let it drop through over the course of an hour or two.
  • Add sugar, plus citric acid or lime juice to taste. Enjoy over ice.
