Cactus Candy!

Scaled, as we got 2/3c of puree from our 2 fruits (275g)

2/3c (160g) cactus puree (yes, wear gloves!)
2c (460g) unsweetened applesauce
4 tsp pectin  (13g) (we used Sure Jell)
3 1/3c  (660g) sugar

Grease an 8x8 baking dish. Mix 1/3c sugar with the pectin, and stir into puree and applesauce in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add remaining sugar and bring to 225*F. Pour into prepared pan and let set for 12+ hours. Cut into squares, roll in sugar, and let set 6+ hours.
