White Chocolate Pistachio Fudge

1 Tbsp. butter
1/4 c. sweetened condensed milk
2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
10-12 oz. white chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. vanilla extract or flavoring
1 c. pistachios, shelled and roasted

In 2-qt. heavy saucepan sweetened condensed milk, sugar, salt, and lemon juice to a boil over med. heat. Continue to boil until it reaches 236 degrees F (soft-ball stage; about 20-30 mins.). Remove from heat, add butter and white chocolate (or white chips). Do not stir; let sit undisturbed until the pan can be handled (about 110 degrees F).

Stir until thick, fold in vanilla and pistachios. Spread into a buttered 8-in. square pan. Cool. Cut into 1-in. squares.

NOTE: 10 to 12 ounce pkg. white (vanilla) chips can be substituted for 10 to 12 oz. of white chocolate. White chips bake well and are about 1/3 the price of white chocolate.

NOTE: Go wild and use the red or green pistachios. You can also add 1/2 c. of candied cherries to add color and flavor.
