White Chocolate Pistachio Fudge
1 tbsp Butter
1/4 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cup Sugar
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Salt
12 oz White chocolate chips
1 tsp Vanilla
1 cup Pistachios, Shelled & Roasted
In 2-quart heavy saucepan combine sweetened condensed milk, sugar, salt, and lemon juice to a boil over medium heat. Continue to boil until it reaches 236°F (soft-ball stage; about 20-30 minutes).
Remove from heat, add butter and white chocolate chips. Do not stir; let sit undisturbed until the pan can be handled (about 110°F).
Stir until thick, fold in vanilla and pistachios. Spread into a buttered 8" x 8" pan. Cool. Cut into 1" squares.
NOTE: Go wild and use the red or green pistachios. You can also add 1/2 cup of candied cherries to add color and flavor.
