Midnight Cooking Adventure


One stressor off my plate. A few hours of deep sleep and an hour of cooking down the last of the prickly pears, my mind is now much clearer than it has been for the last two weeks. The deep red fruity-smelling juice ended up in the freezer for use later this year, and the rest will be transformed into delicious tasting jam this afternoon.  The first batch of prickly pear jam was so tasty and is almost gone as it shared with friends and family. Hopefully, some of the jam from the next batch will last more than a week.
