  *Getting the juice from the prickly pears. Cut both ends off of the fruit, then gently cut a slit the length of the pear. You should cut through the thick skin. Carefully use your knife to help you peel off the skin. It may peel off in one piece or it may come off in several pieces. Cut the fruit into chunks and then place them into a blender or food processor and puree. Pour the puree into a fine mesh strainer and push it back and forth to separate the juice from the seeds. 2 fruits should yield more than ½ a cup of juice.
