Rather, it gets a new start in the Spring, plumps up, and gets covered with new beautiful yellow flowers with orange tints. Then comes the green fruit which eventually turns red.<br /><br />I puréed mine to add to other juice. But how do you get the membrane-like consistency to be less membrane-like?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-87875612077297461322010-12-13T00:17:19.028-05:002010-12-13T00:17:19.028-05:00you can also slice up the cactus paddles and cook ...you can also slice up the cactus paddles and cook them that way. my grandmother would fry them and then mix them with eggs so it was almost like green eggs and ham :)Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508732951712018946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-69477927978808437742010-11-27T14:29:33.670-05:002010-11-27T14:29:33.670-05:00I have never seen these before and I love the colo...I have never seen these before and I love the colour!mycookinghuthttp://www.mycookinghut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-64976865600889973982010-11-27T14:18:19.292-05:002010-11-27T14:18:19.292-05:00I learned something new today and what a beautiful...I learned something new today and what a beautiful chiffon cake!Little Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-5368711571320489352010-11-26T14:55:06.646-05:002010-11-26T14:55:06.646-05:00Jsskitchen3n, thank you.
