Directions

Prepare the Pistachios

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. Spread the pistachios out on a baking sheet and bake until the nuts are hot but not browned or toasted, about 7 minutes.

  3. Transfer the nuts to a bowl and toss with the confectioners’ sugar.

  4. Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment or Silpat

  5. Combine the water, granulated sugar, and corn syrup in a small saucepan. Using a candy thermometer, bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook to 285°F.

  6. Add the toasted nuts and salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar turns white.

  7. Scrape out onto a Silpat. Working quickly with 2 forks, separate the nuts while the sugar is still hot.

  8. Allow to cool completely. Present in little bags or tightly sealed boxes.
