Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 young cactus paddles, all spines removed

Instructions

  1. Bring water and sugar to a boil over medium to medium-high heat.
  2. Meanwhile cut clean nopalitos into 1 x 3 inch pieces or into small shapes with a cookie cutter. Rinse the nopalitos under cold water until the mucous-like substance that can be seen along cut portions disappears. Add the nopalitos to the boiling syrup, turn the heat down until it is just a bare simmer, and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. With tongs, remove the nopalitos to a plate and spoon some syrup over them.
  4. Serve with coffee and dessert after a meal.
