It's the perfect time for cactus pears. We packed our blow torch and tongs and got on our way.

We love cactus pears. They are bright red, juicy, and ready to be enjoyed in teas, salads, liqueurs and more. But try your bare hand at these and you'll be picking hair-like thorns out of your fingers and mouth for days.

So we came prepared. We packed our blow-torch, tongs, and set off for a gorgeous north shore hike around Capelas, part of the Vigia de São Pedro trail. This easy and relatively flat trail offers sweeping views of the north coast of the island, along with some great Azorean endemic plants, like Pau Branco. Not to mention it's a great spot for picking our Azorean cactus pears. Check out the video for how to harvest and use them!
