| Peel - VERY CAREFULLY - chop up in salads where you want a crunchy
texture.
Also good when marinated in vinegarette.

| I have a recipe around someplace for prickly-pear fruit muffins.
They are pretty good, sort of reminiscent of cranberry muffins.

| They make WONDERFUL jelly. Don't add water if you can
help it...it changes the color from ruby to a sort of
non-descript peach.

| Idylwilde Farms has cactus on occasion, but not always. Call them before you go
to see if/when they might have it in stock.

| The Shaw's in Stratham and Nashua, NH have it from time to time.
I think I saw it in the Purity Supreme in Woburn once, too.

| Thanks for all the cactus pointers. I wound up buying a couple cans
from the owner of Casa Romero. I don't believe he was terribly
enthusiastic about it, although he was pleasant to deal with. I shall
have to try some of the places suggested in the previous replies.
