Pistachio Torte
This recipe always reminds me of my mom. This is one of the things that she would bring to gatherings. Everyone always loved it and it is a cool and refreshing dessert on hot days. After making it the first time I realized why she only made it for gatherings. I think I would eat the whole thing if there was no one else to share it with. The picture is of a smaller one but the recipe is for a 9x13 pan. This dessert should be refrigerated until served.The Crust
1 c. flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1 stick butter
1/4 c. pecans, chopped
