I can't find my copy *&@RT*R#&__&)R@ - - - can you send it to me again? no Rush at all

To Old Used Parts-~ your post.."I kinda 'whimped out" on peeling the Prickly Pears by hand because of the small little clusters of thorns that are on them BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT - - - my Wife could peel them without gloves or anything."

I USED to do prickly pear jam and other dishes

Those little cluster thorns...theyvdo hurt..so I used to turn on the grill and use tongs to pick them up and just burn the cluster thorns off quick and fast ...
walla. HOPE This help all who enjoy prick pears.

YES, I did the torch trick also for a little while and then I met Sherry. I just amazes me how she can peel them as if they were an apple with absolutely no problems with those knobs of thornes

Better late then never... those little hairy red stickers are horrible. WHAT U DO is ...light the grill or what I did.. used a propane weed burner ...it takes a couple seconds ..done gone. Use long tongs to pick them off the plant ñ burn those hairy stickers right off the prickly pears in seconds. PICKING the tasty prickly pears ..U again use long tongs n place in a bag that can thrown away. Wall ah ..problem solved and good eating. The javelina love to eat the fruit n pedals but won't eat the purple species.

You’re either staying up very late or moving mighty early; hope all is well Hj

I wonder if that's Arizona Time (5:51 am) or Texas Time?
Probably CST, if so he beat you up by 2 hrs and me by 3
