I wonder which way this will filter.
For the person who wanted to get rid of the prickly pear cactus, incase of no
success.

3.25 C juice from cooked fruit
juice 2 lemons
1 bottle liquid pectin
8 C (3.5lbs) sugar

Remove thorns and blossom ends from 3 lbs fruit. (my friend uses a propane
torch). Cut fruit in small pieces. Crush and add 1 C water. Stir til boiling.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Place in cheese cloth bag and squeeze juice
out.

Measure juice into large sauce pan, add lemon juice and pectin. Measure sugar
into another pan. Bring juice and pectin to a boil. Stir constantly. Add sugar
slowly, while stirring and maintaining boil. Takes about 5 minutes. Then at
full roiling boil cook for .5 minute. Pour into hot jelly jars. Makes 4 pints.
It's supposed to be delicious.


I didn't hear from anyone on a cake with heath bars. So if someone can find the
recipe I'd really appreciate it.
