Prickly pears harvest

Harvested some prickly pears. They live up to their name. Got dozens of tiny thorns in my hands even double layered with my two pairs of thorn resistant gloves. Had to go to the hospital to harvest them where they have a ton. They make excellent juice, are good for jam, ice cream, smoothies, etc.

If you're not properly prepared before harvesting them prepare for death by a thousand needles. They are near impossible to remove because of their microscopic barbs.
