EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Groves of pistachio trees thrive in California, New Mexico, Iran, Italy and Turkey. Store pistachios sealed in an airtight container in a cool spot; freeze them for longer storage. Look for pistachios, already shelled in your grocery's produce or bulk food areas.

During winter holidays, use red-dyed pistachios alone or in combination with natural green pistachios.

Who doesn't love butter! I do! This recipe was a great addition to our holiday table of treats. Have the recipe handy, you will be asked for it! I used pistachios from Orandi Ranch, made with Himalayan Pink Salt. Try them yourself, just visit orandiranch.com
