Prickly pear?
Okay, so it was an impulse purchase. I bought prickly pear fruit at the market, never had seen them before.
So, I came home to research how to cook them. They are green, does that mean they are not ripe? Descriptions indicate ripe ones are red. They are not flat, so I guess that means they are not the "leaves" of the cactus.
All recipes I have found only tell how to make syrup or jelly, and assume I know more about them than I obviously do.
Do I need to let them ripen? Any advice will be appreciated.
