Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Man are you kidding me? I'd probably burn the neighborhood down. Now that sounds like a fire waiting to happen. Scary.

Open up a coat hanger like you do for roasting marshmallows, or get a long metal skewer of some sort. 2. Pour some rubbing alcohol into a disposable pie tin (do this outside), and light the alcohol CAREFULLY with one of those long fireplace lighters. 3. Spear a prickly pear fruit throught the middle and wave it slowly just over the flames, turning it to get all over. Don't stick the fruit in the flames. One or two passes should do the trick- you don't want to cook them, just burn off the prickles. 4. Wash thoroughly! NIF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
