Fruit Finds

I found some prickly pear cactus fruit at the grocery store. They haven't had any new or interesting fruits (at least to me) lately, so I was excited when I saw these!

I've never tasted one before and wasn't really sure what to expect. My prediction was that it would be slightly sweet, pale, and watery- kind of like the white part of watermelon but sweeter.

I was surprised when I cut it open and it was deep red! The texture was similar to my prediction expect that it was filled with hard seeds.  The flavor was close to what I expected.  It was a tasty little snack. 

I also found some currants. I've had these before (someone near my parents' house grows them) and I love them. Another good fruit find:)
