Servings

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
Strain the prickly pear juice through 2 layers of cheesecloth into a saucepan; add sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Carefully pour the hot prickly pear juice mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven until the candy is firm to the touch, approximately 5 minutes.
Allow the candy to cool completely, at least 30 minutes. Cut the cooled candy into bite-sized pieces and wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap to prevent sticking.
