I know that with one exception, this is mainly the Boone's Farm / Ripple crowd but was wondering if anybody here has any insight on using Prickly Pear Tunas to make wine ?????
Looks like I'm going to have a bumper crop of them in my yard this year.
Also want to try flavoring a batch of Mead with Mesquite beans.

I think coyote shit mesquite beans is kinda like shitting Okra, slimy. It could be because they don't pick the beans out of the pod, not sure about what causes the slime. As to the Prickly pear fruits, that sounds interesting. Where to go for guidance? Beats me?

Been looking at some You Tube videos.
Seems as though prickly pear tunas make a decent wine / mead.

Must be some local dialect I am unfamiliar with? The fruits are called "Tunas"? Okay, but I don't get it?
I always called them Prickly Pear Salmons, but whatever?

No problem. Get the juice and make wine.

Simple is good.

Getting ready to put up a maple syrup / honey mead while I'm waiting for the tunas to ripen.

I have a very large cactus, more than 30 ft. tall that produces thousands of fruits. They have a red skin and the pulp is white with small black seeds; really small, like poppy seeds. Anyway, the taste is sweet and a little like watermelon texture. The birds let them ferment and get drunk, flop all over and make regular asses of themselves. These are a sparrow type with black and white stripes on the head and they arrive in a whole flock. Anyway, the fruits really are tasty and I could eat several at a time. They are plum size. I'm always encouraging people to taste them but they do it reluctantly because I don't give up. Then, they admit it's not terrible but have such an aversion that they can't let their hair down and just enjoy something different.

Yeah, people are funny about what they will & will not eat. Food connoisseurs eat lobster but only Rednecks would eat crayfish.
Found a video where the hero was using a Dragon's Breath Torch (great for de-icing sidewalks or burning pesky weeds) to burn the needles off of the fruits. Fresh picked in a pile, torch propped up, tongs to hold 'em in the flame and drop in the clean bucket. Quick & slick.
