It's a summer tradition in Tucson. Gather 2 quarts of ripe purple-red prickly pear fruit, along with a few not so ripe. Use tongs and wear gloves also.
For years, Cheri has been making her popular jams, jellies, and syrups for gift shops in Tucson. These southwest treats are available individually, and in beautiful gift arrangements.
These unique gifts look so good, and taste even better.
