REPLY: First of all it is not Kai Apple; which is a different species, I realised this and was waiting for some Afrikander to correct me! alas they were all in a toper - this with no World Cup Games showing! It is in fact pirckly pear - yes, you have to be very careful handling it as the spines get you they are similar to nettles and really hurt. Kai Apples - we used to grow them as hedges to prevent unwanted guests entering our compounds. They bear fruit which is green in colour and then turns yellow - like an Apricot, tastes nothing like it though. So I guess it would be good for pickling.
