Put pistachios in a bowl, top with boiling water and soak 30 minutes. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with wax paper. Drain pistachios thoroughly and put in blender or food processor. Add milk and process until finely chopped, scraping mixture down from sides once or twice. Add sugar. Process until nuts make a paste. Heat a large non-stick skillet, add butter and melt over medium-low heat. Add nut paste, and cook about 15 minutes, stirring constantly until mixture is very thick. Stir in vanilla then spoon into prepared pan and spread evenly. Cook completely, then cut into 20 squares using a sharp knife. Note: this will keep 2-3 weeks covered and stored in the fridge.
