Recipe



Combine sugar, syrup, and salt in a 2 qt. casserole or mixing bowl. Microwave at high for 5 minutes. Stir in pistachios. Microwave 2 to 5 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes and then again after 4 minutes. You are looking for the mixture to lightly brown. When it has lightly browned, stir in butter, vanilla, and soda until light and foamy.
