STEP 2

Place peeled prickly pears in blender with 1 cup of water. Blend at the lowest speed for 1 minute. Strain and discard the seeds and pulp. Place prickly pear juice back in the blender, with orange juice, and agave syrup. Blend until smooth. Serve over ice.

Please, please, please wear gloves when working with this fruit. Place your finger in between the flesh and the outer skin and simply pull back, the outer layer should come off easily. You can store them in your refrigerator for up to a week or at room temperature if you are going to eat them in one or two days.
