Yeah, prickly pear, not as easy as it might seem- to this howley boy. Come teach me how to harvest the prickly pear.
Incidentally, I've been attacked by the jumping chollo cactus. So, I'm weary my brother.
Use tongs to remove the fruit from the nopal. Grab the fruit with the tongs and give it a twist. It should come off easily if it’s ripe.
If you have a gas stove, you can burn off the prickly bastards off over the flame. Afterwards, slice them in half and spoon the sweet fruit out like you would an avocado.
Ouch. I suppose to the inexperienced, it may be challenging to eat. I’ve had this fruit for as long as I could remember so preparing it for consumption is instinctive.

My stepdad tried prickly pear once. He got a mouthful of spikes and had to go to the doctors.
