This one is good :-)

We use a recipe from the Jamlady Cookbook by Beverly Ellen Schoonmaker Alfeld (note that the "Jamlady" has the same annoying habit as Homegrown Revolution of referring to herself in the third person constantly).

Here's the recipe:
2 1/2 cups prickly pear cactus juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
5 cups sugar
1 box of powdered pectin (18 teaspoons-note that not all pectin brands contain the same amount in a box, so measure it out to make sure)

Hard boil cactus fruit juice, pectin and lemon juice for 3 minutes. Hard boil means the point at which the brew still bubbles even when you stir it. Add sugar and bring back to a hard boil for 2 minutes or until the jell point is reached.

5. Put in 8 once canning jars, seal and heat process for 10 minutes
