God bless! When I get glochids, I use tape to remove them. Washing in a colander (swirl a half-dozen in it) removes most, if not all spines and glochids. For most, all we do is chop fine in a food processor and strain thru a pillow case. We used to cook them down a little, then drain, but the food processor makes it better. Juice is put in recycled juice jugs (2/3 full) and that goes in the freezer till needed.
Excellent! We've had great success by just following the steps they showed us. (We just finished this year's harvest from our yard last week.) The best advice we have is to be thorough in removing the glocides/needles. Even so, you may want to wear some light gloves when handling and peeling the fruit since a few small spines always manage to survive the process. We're sure you'll enjoy the fruits of your labor.
I use a steam juicer, and have for years. I wash the pears cut in half and let the juicer do the work. No need to straining and very little cleanup. I drain the juice into half gallon plastic containers and freeze. $90 bucks from amazon.
1:07 Those barrel Cactus Fruit can be picked by hand and eaten on the spot seeds and all for protein. Taste lemony with a mild bell pepper aftertaste. They are perfect for flavoring for a lemon or citrus based cake or just chopped into a salad
And word to the wise = The Best Tunas are the ones that made it thru the winter. They are as sweet as strawberries & better than Summer Harvest!! My Faves!!....And I get the needles off giving them a douse of rubbing alcohol and lighting it and mixing them in the metal bowl. & then rinsing them wt a plastic brush....takes 5 min total.

Using tape sounds like a great idea! Thanks for sharing your techniques.
