This is my most requested recipe-
Nut and Berry Bark
3 cups shelled, raw, unsalted pistachios
3 cups dried cranberries
2 1/2 pounds white chocolate, finely chopped
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Toast pistachios about 10 minutes.
I'm using my toaster oven,
so I had to toast in batches.
Do not overcook,
or the pistachios will lose their bright green color.
Remove from oven
and set aside to cool.
Place a steamer basket in a medium saucepan
filled with 1/2 inch of water.
Bring to a boil over moderately high heat,
then add dried cranberries and steam
until soft and moist about 4 minutes.
Remove basket and transfer cranberries
to a paper towel and blot dry.
Let cool.
Place about 3/4 of the chocolate in a bowl
set over simmering water.
Stir occasionally with rubber spatula
until it's about 2/3 melted.
Add in the remaining chocolate
and stir until the chocolate is
completely melted and smooth.
Reserve 4 TB of cranberries and
4 TB of the greenest pistachios.
Stir rest of cranberries and pistachios into chocolate.
Turn out the mixture onto two 10 x 14 baking sheet
lined with foil or parchment paper.
Using an offset spatula,
spread the mixture evenly into a 10 x 14 rectangle.
Scatter the reserved cranberries and pistachios over top.
Refrigerate until hardened,
then break the bark into large pieces.
Cranberries into steamer basket for about 4 minutes.
Set finely chopped white chocolate
in a bowl over simmering water.
Stir until completely melted and smooth.
Add in cranberries.
Stir in the pistachios.
Spread evenly in 10 x 14 pan.
Don't forget the parchment paper or foil,
like I did.
Sprinkle with reserved cranberries and pistachios.
Ready for fridge.
When hardened,
break into large pieces.
Christmasy!
