Holiday Table Idea
This is a nice and festive holiday table piece. Take a clear and simple glass bowl. Fill the bowl halfway with water. Add 1 package of cranberries and five medium size floating candles. The cranberries will last for about a week and is a nice addition to the holiday table.
Prickly Pear
Just what is Prickly Pear? Prickly Pear is a pulpy, often edible, round or pear shaped spring fruit of any various prickly pear cacti. The fruit of prickly pears, commonly called Cactus Fig, Indian Fig or Chumbo Fig, is edible, although it has to be peeled carefully to remove the small spines on the outer skin before eating. If the outer layer is not properly removed, glochids can be ingested, causing pain in the throat, tongue or lips as the small spines are easily lodged in the skin. That being said, Prickly Pear has a unique and delicious flavor. Try it as a syrup or as a sorbet flavor.
