Thank you- came up with that combo meself...Yes, I coarsly ground or
finely chopped pistachios- added a couple of Tbls of granulated sugar,
and melted butter to bind together. Press into pan, & bake in a med.
oven just like you would a graham cracker crust.




Creative, YES!
Saved to file -- I keep pistachios on hand all times. They are fabulous for
health.
