MERMELADAS

I have to consult an online dictionary to figure out what I'm putting on my toast in the morning.  Zarzamora.  I probably should have known that one--blackberry.  That's the one on the right.  

But what is that one on the left?  Xoconostle.  Prickly pear.


The middle one is garambullo, another cactus fruit. 




We buy these things at the monthly mercadito, a small street market that specializes in local products.  The mermeladas are advertised as organic and are made in a nearby town.  We're happy to eat them and even happier we don't have to pick the fruit.
