Did you know you can make practically every course with some part of the prickly pear cactus? For hors d'oeuvres, try the pads pickled. For the main course, they're nice on tostadas.
 
For desert, use the fruit to make a beautiful purple sorbet. Finally, as an after dinner drink use the fruit juice in cocktails. Adds a pleasant flavor and delightful color. Opuntia Humifusa, a form of prickly pear, can be found in our mail order catalog.
