PRICKLY PEAR BARBECUE SAUCE
The prickly pear is the desert's dessert-the sweet, pinkish or greenish, oval fruit of a flat paddled cactus that grows throughout the American West. How to Prepare Prickly Pears To prepare whole prickly pears, cut the ends off with a paring knife, holding the pear at the end of a fork. It's a good idea to wear gloves: the pear may still have some prickles. Cut the fruit into ½ inch dice, then puree in the food processor, running the machine in short bursts. Strain the resulting puree to remove the hard seeds. You'll need about 1 pound of prickly pears to obtain 1 cup puree. Prickly pear adds a sweet flavor to the barbecue sauce, that almost tastes like watermelon. Try this Prickly Pear Barbecue Sauce with Smoked Baby Back Ribs.

Stir in the prickly pear, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat until thick and richly flavored, 4 to 6 minutes. If a sweeter sauce is desired, whisk in the sugar.

Steps:
- Cut a 1/2-inch slice off both ends of the prickly pears, then make a 1/2-inch deep incision down the side of each one. Carefully (remember there are little stickers) peel off the rind, starting from your incision: The rind is thick, and, if the fruit is ripe, will peel easily away from the central core. Roughly chop the peeled prickly pears, puree in a food processor or blender, then press through a fine strainer into a bowl. There should be about 3 cups.
- In a medium-size (2- to 3-quart) saucepan, combine 2 cups of the puree with 1/3 cup sugar, and simmer rapidly over medium to medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until reduce to 1 cup. Cool.
- Combine the cooked mixture with the remaining1 cup of uncooked puree in a small bowl. Taste and season with lime juice, orange liqueur and additional sugar if needed.
- Advance Preparation:
- Covered and refrigerated, the sauce will keep about a week. The finished sauce (as well as the prickly-pear pulp) also can be frozen.
