Orange Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti
I can’t believe I had never made biscotti before, but that’s the truth. This was my very first time baking one.
When I was back in Japan in September I had a chance to taste my sister’s homemade biscotti. It was crunchy and delicious, and I told myself I would make biscotti when I get home.
It took me a few months to actually get to it, but I finally did! I was a bit afraid of the process where you have to slice the “logs” after the first baking, but that process went very well without a problem. Biscotti is not a difficult to thing to make, but I struggled to decide how long I should bake for the second time.
I ended up baking them for a lot longer than the recipe said, and I also turned up the oven temperature a bit higher (from 275 F to 300 F) towards the end.
My first biscotti turned out great! Just a few notes for myself; 1) put a lot of pistachio. I like to taste pistachio in every bite, 2) bake even a little longer, maybe at 300 F from the beginning for the second baking.
Both the colors and the flavors are festive just perfect for this time of the year. These can make a great Thanksgiving or Christmas gift. Not a very traditional choice, but I’m sure it will be welcomed and enjoyed.

Orange Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti
1. Peel the skin of half of an orange. Cook in boiling water for about 30 minutes or until it’s tender. Remove from the water. Chop it into very small pieces.
2. Use this recipe. Add the prepared orange peel along with the cranberries and pistachio.
3. Bake a bit longer than suggested by the recipe for the second time, at 300 F instead of 275 F.
オレンジクランベリーピスタチオビスコッティ
日本に帰国中姉が作ったビスコッティがすっごく美味しくって、アメリカに戻ったら絶対自分でも作ってみようと思ってました。
数か月経ってしまいましたが、やっと人生初ビスコッティ作り挑戦しましたよ~。
いろいろ迷ったのですが、まずはオレンジピール、クランベリー、ピスタチオナッツ入り。
あれも入れたい、これも入れたい、と思っていたらちょっと欲張りな感じになりました。
二度焼きをどれぐらいしたらいいのか、というところに少し戸惑いましたが、出来上がりは満足。
ピスタチオが思ったより少ししか残ってなかったのが残念でしたが、次回はもうちょっと多めに入れよう、という良いレッスンになりました。
リボンの柄なんかに気配りすれば、クリスマスギフトにもなります。
