Source for Prickly Pear to use in Cider

[therackman]

Does anyone have a good source for prickly pear to use in cider? Not finding much available through internet search. Seems alot harder to find than vintner's harvest fruits or other sources.

Is the only option to find the fresh fruit seasonally and process for cidermaking?

Cheers!

There are some expensive sources of prickly pears that are not seasonal. The rest are unfortunately seasonal.
