Preparation Steps

• Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
• In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Do not stir after it starts boiling.
• Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract, chopped pistachios, and almond extract (if using).
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
• Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature for about 2-3 hours, or until firm.
• Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares.
