  3             medium  peaches
  1           envelope  unflavored gelatin
     1/4           cup  cold water
  1                cup  prickly pear juice
  1 1/2           cups  prickly pear pieces
     1/2           cup  honey
  5        tablespoons  lemon juice
     1/2           cup  whipping cream
 

Preparation:

Plunge the peaches into a large pot of boiling water for one minute; using a slotted spoon, transfer them immediately to a large bowl of cold water. The skins should slip off easily. Slice the peaches. There should be about 1- 1/2 cups. Sprinkle gelatin over the 1/4 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Set aside. Combine 1 cup prickly pear juice with peach slices and prickly pear pieces in a medium saucepan. Simmer over low heat for five minutes. Turn off the heat under the fruit and strain off 1 cup of juice. In a small saucepan, combine the juice and honey and cook gently just at a simmer for eight minutes. Add the softened gelatin and lemon juice to the honey mixture and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Puree the fruit and remaining juice in a blender. Combine with the gelatin and honey mixture and freeze in a bread pan or similar container. When nearly hard, remove from freezer, transfer to a bowl, and beat with an electric mixer. Beat the whipping cream until stiff and fold into the fruit mixture. Return to the bread pan. Refreeze until firm.
