Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. If your pistachios are not shelled, shell them before beginning.
- Place the shelled pistachios and salt in the bowl of a food processor . Close the lid and process.
- In the first minute or so, the pistachios will begin to grind into a fine powder.
- As the food processor continues to run, the powder will begin to thicken slightly. For a few minutes, the ground nuts will remain powdery, but don't be concerned. As the mixture continues to process, the fats in the pistachio nuts will release.
- Eventually, the powdery consistency will transform into the thick "buttery" consistency we associate with nut butter. If you prefer a slightly thinner nut butter, you can drizzle in a very small amount of neutral-flavored oil like vegetable oil or canola oil into the food processor as it runs.
- Once the pistachio butter has achieved the desired consistency, spoon into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy.

THE ONLY BASIC PISTACHIO BUTTER RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED
Homemade pistachio butter is one of the healthiest types of nut butters you can make. Pistachios are pricier than other nuts, but their powerful nutrition and delicate flavor make them worth the investment. Low in calories and fat, and rich in protein, pistachios boast some of the best bang-for-your-buck nutrition you can get from a nut. Memorize our basic pistachio butter recipe, then spice it up with any combination of ingredients-try ground cinnamon, vanilla bean paste, ground cardamom, grated orange zest, or even melted dark chocolate. Spread this luscious nut butter over toast, swirl it into homemade oatmeal, or mix it into cookie batter (swap peanut butter for pistachio butter in this thumbprint cookie recipe). For best results, use a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix or a Ninja. (You can also use a food processor, but the nuts will take longer to break down.)

- 1. For a vibrant green color and pure pistachio flavor, blanch and peel the pistachios. Pour pistachios into a saucepan and cover with 3 inches of cold water. Soak pistachios in water for 5 minutes, then heat the water and pistachio mixture over medium heat until just steaming (not boiling), about 10 minutes.
- 2. Remove one pistachio from the water using a slotted spoon. If the pistachio’s skin peels off easily, drain the pistachios and rinse under cold running water. (If not, return to the heat and check again in 2 minutes. Do not let the pistachios become soft.)
- 3. Transfer the rinsed pistachios to a clean kitchen towel. Fold the towel over and rub the pistachios to loosen their skins. Discard pistachio skins.
- 4. Transfer skinned pistachios to the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse blanched, skinned pistachios until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. For chunky pistachio butter, remove a tablespoon of chopped nuts and set aside.
