Description

Cactus jam, as we can see, isn't all that exotic. Maybe these fruits will soon be sold here too, like avocados or bananas — then a cactus jam recipe will definitely come in handy :) I want to say that prickly pear fruits are rich in vitamins and beneficial nutrients, which is why cactus jam is not only tasty but also good for you. Here's how to make it. Store in a cool, dark place.
