How to Make Beachcomber's Prickly Pear Jelly
- Prepare your prickly pear tunas: Carefully remove the spines and peel the tunas. (Wear gloves!)
- Juice the tunas: Use a juicer or blender to extract the juice. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp.
- Prepare your jars: Wash jars and lids in hot, soapy water. Sterilize in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
- Combine ingredients: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the prickly pear juice, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
- Add pectin: Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in pectin according to package directions.
- Return to a boil: Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and skim: Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
- Fill jars: Ladle the hot jelly into the prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Process jars: Wipe the rims of the jars clean. Place lids and rings on the jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
- Cool and enjoy: Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place.
