Preparation

Step 1

Pour the pistachios into hot water, let the skin soften for 5-10 minutes.


Rub the skin off with clean tea towel, you will get real green pistachios ^^.


Roast the nut in 150°C for 10 minutes.
Weight the nut, you will need 125g of it.
Put the roasted nuts in the food processor with icing sugar.


Puree the nut and icing sugar until fine, pour the Kirsh (if you want the paste to be very fragrance use 1tbsp of it) and syrup into the food processor bowl (the amount of the syrup will depend on the moisture of the nut).
Process until you get very smooth but not watery paste .
