Greek Pistachio Brittle image

Summer 2006 edition of Kerasma's Greek Gourmet Traveler. This was originally called, "Pasteli with Greek Honey and Aegina Pistachios.' The purple of the lavender and the green and reddish purple of the pistachios looked BEAUTIFUL! Yield, prep and cook time are guesses.
