You know, the Whole Foods that I go to only have raw pistachio without skin. The one with skin is roasted and salted. And it's not on sale like at yours. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen pistachio on sale there. No fair how it's different in different state!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559472530244243185.post-22515466397786178122010-03-15T20:01:50.899-07:002010-03-15T20:01:50.899-07:00Vicki!!!

I will probably shave off hours of the process.<br /><br />You are so lucky you scored the essence, I looked high and low for that thing... there was a moment there when I thought I was making the whole thing up! But, I will continue to search for it and will remake using it.<br /><br />And all of those combinations in your head, sound all very yummy and one better than the other.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185483325188799760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559472530244243185.post-58573281373447636662010-03-15T14:02:46.305-07:002010-03-15T14:02:46.305-07:00The picture of the slice looks wonderful.

You are really sweet.
I didn't...Thanks Vicki! You are really sweet.<br /><br />I didn't blanch my pistachios. I just assumed that shell off was good enough. I think I subconsciously didn't want any faff, so didn't think about it too hard!<br /><br />Although I must say, the vivid green certainly pays dividends. Gorgeous. And very jealous about your pistachio essence. I think I will have to seek it out. The pistachio flavour was quite faint without it and I'm not sure about the hint of almond...<br /><br />Must write my post.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276278631468370980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559472530244243185.post-24517106332525645282010-03-15T01:42:55.132-07:002010-03-15T01:42:55.132-07:00Wow!!

I'm baking mine tonight, but like you I'm planning other versions, as I read the recipe, I was wondering how it would be with almonds.Lois Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560321506489546079noreply@blogger.com
