You possibly will not believe you can lose weight while on a diet which includes cactus rubies but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat cactus rubies or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories per day, and then on the last day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any pills or diet food. I have simply been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also feel it helps to have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Cactus Rubies

This is a red jellied candy from an ancient Arizona food, the prickly pear cactus. Tourists buy a lot of this candy when they visit Arizona.

2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/3 cups light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups red cactus juice
2 (1 3/4 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
1 teaspoon baking soda

To obtain the cactus juice, gather very ripe red-purple tuna (fruit) from prickly pear cactus with tongs. Wash by overflowing water in container. Put fruit in a large pan and barely cover with water. Stickers will cook and strain out. Boil fruit until soft, occasionally mashing down and cutting through the fruit to release the juice. Strain through a cloth in a colander. This juice may be canned in fruit jars and used for candies and jellies, or used immediately.

Candy Procedure
Use two large pans because candy foams. In one pan, mix sugar and syrup and bring to a full rolling boil. Simultaneously, cook foaming juice, pectin and baking soda mixture in another pan until foaming dies down, stirring both mixtures. Pour pectin mixture slowly into sugar mix and boil together about 2 more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from fire, stir a bit more to allow bubbles to escape and candy to clear. Pour into buttered 10 x 6-inch glass dish. Let stand at room temperature until set (several hours).

Turn out on sugared wax paper. Cut into squares and coat with more granulated sugar. Allow to dry at room temperature before storing.
