   1       lb           Fresh, unsalted pistachios
   1 1/4   c            Sugar
   1       c            Honey
   1 1/2   c            Water
                        Butter or oil

      Peel and place pistachios on a baking sheet, the
  put in a slow oven (250 F) to roast for 20 minutes.
  Remove from the oven and cut into quarters.
  
      Meanwhile combine the sugar, honey, and water in a
  heavy pan, and stir over medium heat until dissolved.
  Lower the heat and boil to the very firm stage (250 to
  256 degrees), toss in the pistachio nuts and stir,
  then remove from the heat.  Butter or oil a marble
  slab, jelly roll, or any aluminum pan and quickly
  spread the candy using a spatula or knife.  Allow to
  cool, the cut into squares and store in covered
  containers.
  
  Author's note: A Greek pastry chef told me that
  glucose and honey are usually used for this excellent
  treat.
