Prickly Pear, Figue De Barbarie, Ponthier, Frozen, 1kg

Prickly pears, also known as cactus flowers, are harvested in the summer months in Mexico and the South of the USA. To get to the flesh inside, the skin needs to be peeled, getting rid of any small inedible spines. To make your life a little easier, why not use this frozen prickly pear puree? The flesh inside is soft and has a flavour that resembles melon and fig. This puree has no added sugar at all, it is purely frozen prickly pear flesh (98.8%) and citric acid (0.02%). The puree can be used to make glazes, jellies and syrups that can be paired with savoury and sweet dishes.
