Our family is currently on a trip to Arizona, staying with Uncle Roger and Aunt Linda, so Dad can help them build their new house. The next few posts are going to be about some of the new things we’ve done or experienced in Arizona.
One of the most original things we’ve tried is called Cactus Candy. Unfortunately, it costs a fortune, but as a one time experience it was completely worth it. When we opened the lid of the box, we were greeted by six beautiful gummy-style candies, each covered in a sugar-like crust. But before we got our candy, Mom read to us the paragraph at the top of the box, explaining how they were made. Here it is:
We bit into the candy, and were all a little surprised. It is made with the cactus fruit, which tastes kind of like a blackberry/strawberry/maybe a touch of lemon flavor, very rich and delicious. I was surprised by it, as honestly I had been expecting sugared hard candy, with maybe a little dehydrated cactus pad thrown inside. Fortunately I was wrong. We are going to, now that we’ve tasted a sample, buy some cactus fruit at Sam’s Club, (They also sell cactus pads in the produce section!!!) and use it to make a pie; or some other cactus recipe. I will keep you posted on how the cactus fruit adventure turns out!
