This tasty sauce is absolutely perfect over fish!

Ingredients

*16 fresh prickly pears
*1/2 C. granulated sugar
*1 Tbs. lime juice
*1 Tbs. orange liqueur

Directions

Remove rind from prickly pears by cutting off both ends and running a slice down both sides.  If ripe, the rind will pull off easily.  Chop prickly pear into 1-inch pieces and place in a blender. Blend on medium-high until you have a puree.  Strain through a cheesecloth. Reserve both the juice and puree.  Put 2 cups of the prickly pear juice in a medium-sized saucepan with the sugar. Cook over medium heat until mixture is reduced by half.  Remove from heat.  Add 1 cup of pureed prickly pear, the lime juice, and orange liqueur.  Stir well.  Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
