Thanks for sharing!

[@OrganicallyAnn]

You are so welcome

Yum! When I went to Old Town San Diego. I had Prickly Pear tea. Now I want to make some!!

[@OrganicallyAnn]

It’s so unique! I love this fruit and am looking forward to experimenting with more dishes with the nopales (the paddles of the prickly pear).

[@gerilynbmellin6198]

it is so good as a tea. Hot or cold

[@k.skittles8196]

@@gerilynbmellin6198 I like it Hot. Not cold

Thank you. I have a prickly pear growing in my backyard. This year it has been crazy abundant and i don't want to waste it.

[@OrganicallyAnn]

I moved to a new property a year ago and I don’t have them, BUT i saved my seeds and sprouted some babies - I’m so excited! Their fruit so often gets overlooked, maybe because of the glochids 😂 they can be intimidating at first, but the goodness they give is so worth it💚 Blessings

[@gerilynbmellin6198]

I need to try this. You always make things look so less difficult. :)

[@OrganicallyAnn]

You are way too kind to me🌻 but thank you👩🏻‍🌾

[@gerilynbmellin6198]

This is so delicious with a little bit in my water for my agua frescas

[@OrganicallyAnn]

I’m so glad you liked it💚

[@hellongoodbye]

Thanks great video instruction you have done.

[@OrganicallyAnn]

Thank you for the kind words💚 I’m glad you enjoyed it

Where did you get tuna from looking looking a fish? If anything the word is some old Spanish that some how got lost from the original, nochtli.

[@OrganicallyAnn]

Considering that prickly pears are native to the Americas (North & South) and the Caribbean I’m sure they have a bunch of different names. The name Tuna comes from the Caribbean Taino language, it was adopted into Spanish in the 1500s.

[@Syndogon]

@OrganicallyAnn yeah I got confused about the fish part.

[@ashriver7710]

Could I use lemon juice instead of citric acid you think? 🤔

[@OrganicallyAnn]

I haven’t tried it, but I bet you could. You may have to use a good amount to achieve the desired tartness. Blessings 🌸

[@ashriver7710]

@@OrganicallyAnn I actually already made it with it! Tbf it was already going in a lemonade so it worked just fine. Came out really good, thanks 💜

[@adrenaline328]

Great video tutorial! Thank you! Do you think citric acid is necessary if you were to water bath can it as you did? I’m curious to try the taste of the prickly pear without the citric acid since you described a change in flavor. Also, I might like to not buy citric acid!

[@austinwilliams3992]

Lemon juice is alternative

[@austinwilliams3992]

If you dont want lemon flavor add it while its hot you will break down citrus flavor with high heat

[@OrganicallyAnn]

Thank you so much for watching my video. I’m glad you enjoyed it. The citric acid complements the flavor. I’m sure you could use lemon to accomplish the same thing. It tastes a little more floral without citric acid. Blessings to you.

[@OrganicallyAnn]

Thank you I will try that next time

[@lordsams]
