Pistachio butter is available year-round from natural food stores and specialty grocers.
The sweet distinctive flavor of pistachio butter makes it especially good as a dip for raw fruit slices. It can also be used as a sandwich spread or in any other way nut butters are used. Because pistachio butter is unprocessed, the oil and solids sometimes separate in the jar but can easily be stirred together before use.
