  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/2           cups  milk
  3                      eggs
  1                 cup   sugar
  1                 cup   whipping cream -- whipped
  1 1/4           cups   pistachio nuts
  1         tablespoon  vanilla extract
  1         tablespoon  almond extract

Blanch the nuts by placing in a bowl and pouring boiling water over them. Let
sit for 1 min. Drain and peel. Blend the nuts, milk, eggs and sugar until you
have a green smooth liquid. Pour into a saucepan. Cook over low heat until the
custard thickens, about 25 min. Do not boil or it will curdle. Cool. When cool,
add vanilla and almond extracts. Stir. Fold in whipped cream. Freeze in an ice
cream maker or in a container or bowl in your freezer. If you use the bowl in
freezer method, you should pull the bowl out 2 or 3 times and mix the mixture
with a mixer. The frozen custard on the sides of the bowl should be moved into
the rest of the mixture. This incorporates air and breaks up ice crystals.
