CANDIED SPICED NUTS

4.8/5 (13)Published Apr 18, 2022Category Recipe Roundup
- Prickly Pear Juice. This vibrant red juice is as yummy as it is gorgeous. You can make it with nothing more than prickly pears. Wash, peel, and puree them until they’re drinkable.
- Prickly Pear Syrup. Prickly pear syrup is just as fantastic. However, it’s sweeter, thicker, and doesn’t include limes. You make it with prickly pears, sugar, and water.
- Prickly Pear Margarita. I’ve talked about cocktails too much, and now I want one. Let’s check out a couple of recipes for them, shall we? We’ll start with this hot pink margarita.
- Prickly Pear Bourbon Cocktail. The bourbon cocktail isn’t as sweet as the margarita. However, it is fruity, delicious, and refreshing. With two ounces of liquor, it’s reasonably strong.
- Prickly Pear and Lime Sorbet. Don’t you just adore naturally bright food and drinks? When something is a vibrant red or bold blue, I love it. This tart and tangy sorbet doesn’t need any food coloring to shine.
