Substitutes for Prickly Pear in gelato
Prickly pear (cactus pear, tuna) is the sweet, mildly acidic fruit of the Opuntia ficus-indica cactus, prized in sorbetto for its jewel-toned pulp. In gelato it acts as a fruit base: mostly water with reducing sugars that boost anti-freezing power well above sucrose. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked. Swap and adjust as noted.
