Blend the inner fruit in a blender, on high - until liquid
Separate the pulp from the juice with a fine mesh strainer *

Notes
if your prickly pear has thorns, remove before working with them. Most prickly pears at your local store come with the thorns removed. However, if you’re using fresh picked prickly pear- please ensure you remove the thorns by holding your fruit in metal tongs and singing the hairs/thorns over an open flame. They will turn to ash, making your peeling easy!To remove the skin from the prickly pear, slice the ends off. Then make a shallow slice from end-end of the pear. This slice should be about ⅛ th deep into the the fruit. Then run your finger under the skin and peel around, should be a breeze!Press a spoon into the pulp on the fine mesh strainer - to remove all excess juice from the pear
