How to make Prickly Pear Jelly

Once of the most direct and clear prickly pear jelly instruction videos I have found. Thank you.

Thanks so much for the recipe! I’m from SE New Mexico and we had a bunch of prickly pears growing behind our house! My husband picked a bunch and I just made 20 jars of jelly following your recipe! Thanks for such an easy and thorough explanation of your recipe! ☺️ it came out perfect!

Great video, young lady. The pears are simply tumbling off the cacti here in the desert around Alamogordo right now. I about fell off my chair when you said you were in Buffalo Gap. My great grandfather was the schoolteacher there, and the first postmaster, late 1870s. He married my great grandmother in Buffalo Gap in 1880.

suggestion, clean the rims before placing the tops...if it is some sugar or fruit on the rim the top will no seal properly

Thank you for posting this video. My family and I live in San Antonio and we harvested some prickly pear yesterday on a hike. My wife and I followed all the steps except we added 3 jalapenos to the mix. It turned out amazing with a little kick to it. We are excited to drop some jars off to friends and neighbors to cheer them up during this Covid 19 qurantine. Also if y'all are ever in San Antonio and need to see a chiropractor, I am the owner of Functional Aim Chiropractic and would love to give y'all a free adjustment for posting this great instructional video.

Your recipe helped me SO much the first time I tried making prickly pear jam!! I had NO IDEA what to do and, following your amazing directions, we made delicious jam (and it came out so well, we were so proud, we even gave some as gifts!) Thank you!! UPDATE: This year, we've discovered LIQUID PECTIN which has made the process so much easier even, no clumps!!! Thanks again!

I JUST LOVE YOUR PRESENTATION ….So easy !! Thank you!!

Amy and Jeff tried your prickly pear recipe today and we think it was a success! Thank you!

Thank you so much. So far yours is the only one that makes sense. I appreciate the step by step details without being inundated with someones self absorbed need to give their worthless credentials.

Freezing the tuna first will render more juice from less tuna. Can't wait to make me some of this jelly, I usually just make tuna punch!

I make jelly every year and I always go back to yr channel to recap. Thank you.

Loved the recipe. Perfect amount of tartness to me. My wife has been mading jelly with her mother for years, but this time it was all me. Saw some beautiful prickly pears on the side of the road and decided that I needed some pear jelly. Best pear jelly video I found! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for an awsome recipe!! Here on the beachs of North Carolina we have patches of prickly pear, but i was fortunate to have half my front yard full at my new house. I did run out of granulated sugar and substituted half with powdered sugar on my second batch.not much different but had that hint of flavor that powdered gives. otherwise it's holding good consistency and still tasty!! Happy Holidays!!

I made this verbatim ingredient wise and it was PERFECT. I use a small grilling basket over my gas stove to remove the prickle and to roast the jalapenos. Your video is great and explains everything precisely, which is what I needed. Thank you.

Be sure to wipe the rims of the jars w/ a cloth dipped in boiling water to remove any fruit on the rims before putting on the lids so the seal is good on the jars. Enjoyed your video!

I can’t wait to try this! Thank you for sharing!!

Awesome! I miss that area. I was stationed at Dyess for 11 years. Thanks for the video. Cant wait to try this out.

Thank you for the video... bf has lived around prickly pear fruit all his life and never knew the fruit was edible til our nature walk and my hippie curiosity lol I'll be surprising him with some jelly. So thank you ❤ for the video

I used yr method. Its great labor intensive. But worth it. Came out so good.

Best instructions I’ve found for making this. Thanks so much. I’m in Coleman County.
