I'm going to try making this candy with different fruits, like strawberries or blueberries.

I think this candy would be even better if you added some chopped nuts or dried fruit.

I had some trouble finding prickly pears, but I was able to find them at my local farmers market.

I'm not a big fan of prickly pears, but I really enjoyed this candy. It's not too sweet and the flavor is very mild.

This candy is a great way to use up leftover prickly pears. I had a bunch of them from my garden and I didn't know what to do with them.
