Here's a cooked organic patch recipe made from the fruit of a locally plentiful cactus. I like to use elderberries because of their delicate size and flavor.Try and wait until the greenish fruits are more yellow than green even if the parts that never get sun near the stem are still greenish.

A solar oven would be ideal, but a slow cooker will do.
I like it a little carmely so I let it simmer awhile, stirring occasionally. If you like mincemeat, you'll like this vegan chutney.
