Prickly Pear

 So I am sorry but this weeks is going to be shorter then normal. So the prickly pear is also know as the cactus pear. It has little spikes all over it so be careful if you use it. It is most commonly used in desserts, salads, or drinks (after being made into a syrup). I made it into a sauce with some blackberries we had in the freezer and marinated some chicken in it then I cooked the chicken on a skillet on the stove and make some rice with cumin in it to give it a more savory flavor because the prickly pear is sweet tasting.  Sorry it is so brief next weeks will be longer I promise.
