Prickly Pear Margaritas

 

1 1/4 pounds green or red prickly pear fruit

1 cup lime juice

1 cup tequila

3/4 cup orange-flavor liqueur

2 tablespoons sugar

4 cups crushed ice

Thin lime slices, optional

 

Cut ends from prickly pears. Cut a 1/8-inch-deep lengthwise slit through

peel on each fruit. Pull back peel and remove from pulp; discard peel.

Cut fruit pulp into 1/2-inch chunks.

In a blender, combine half of all these ingredients: prickly pear

chunks, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and sugar; whirl until

smooth. Add half the ice and whirl until blended. Pour into glasses

slowly, leaving seeds behind. Discard seeds.

Repeat step 2 with remaining pear chunks, lime juice, tequila, liqueur,

sugar, and ice.

Garnish with lime slices.

Makes 8 servings.
