I did use a salted stick, by accident could that make it orange? I don't know the origin of it..I should have taken a photo, but was in such a rush to make this butter...The residue was salty feeling so I'm assuming that was the salt from the butter not the crystals right? The only thing is that rust color..I have cooked numerous things in the same pot and never gotten that color..The bud did have lots of orange hairs in it, but I thought the butter was supposed to be green! I should have just smoked it, but def. don't want to throw this away if it can be used..Just would like to figure out why the odd coloration. No, I didn't do the water..I used a recipe I had found online
