NOTE: If you harvest these in the wild you have to be super careful of the tiny thorns on the fruit. Use tongs to pick them or heavy thick leather gloves. Remove the thorns by rubbing a rock on them or burn them off with a lighter, there are a few other methods as well. #pricklypear #cactusfruit #cactus | In The Kitchen With Matt | Facebook
