Would you be willing to share your prickly pear wine recipe? I have about a quart of prickly pear syrup that I made this summer. Can I use that? I cut up the fruit and boil it to extract the juice. I then strain it many, many times and then reduce it with sugar to make a syrup.

Add to water, and treat like any fruit wine. Pectin 1tsp. 1tsp yeast nutritive, yeast.
Open ferment 3-5 days, then with bubbler. Rack every couple of months till clear.
I have yet to bottle mine. Getting close but still a little cloudy.
This is my first pp wine but I have heard it best to age for 1 yr prior to drinking.
Each time I take, I sample and it is tasting pretty good.

I really appreciate it, can't wait to try it out! I've got two gallon size bags of crushed mustang grapes waiting for me to decide on a recipe, too.
