Adding more sugar and berries could still not kill the taste. Anyway the butter is easy. Just melt the butter and add the trim bring to a simmer then cover turn down to the lowest setting for 8 to 10 hours. Strain with cheese cloth.
You're forgetting the most critical thing here -- the water!!! Don't forget the water. It keeps the butter from going over 212 F. The first time I made cookies, I used good ingredients, and they didn't do shit... Why? I just put butter and herbs in the pot, and as careful as I was, butter "boils" at some 350-400 degrees, so it completely ruined the herb.

The genius of this method is that it will never ever overcook the herb.

That, and someone else mentioned that whatever you bake should be < 300F. Word! I will do that next time, but the cookies I made yesterday are so sick, it almost scares me that they could be sicker.

Speaking of which, does anyone notice flatulence? I mean, I do tend to fart, but I am farting like crazy today. I wonder if this is a GI side effect, or it could be something I ate yesterday. Yeah, around 7-10PM, I pigged out. I had the worst case of munchies -- it was like when I was a teenager.

Jeeze Bob -- I can't thank you enough for this wonderful recipe and the other great ideas I read here!
darthnader Reviewed by darthnader on . Making Cannabis Butter:Discussion. Well, first i wanna say sorry because apparently i can't merge or juggle threads properly today.. (just spent 5 minutes being a dink) i'm curious what you would mean by a slow cooker.. a crock-pot kind of thing? ... It is possible, i will check and let you know. I made this 2nd thread to discuss the recipe rather than clutter up the recipe with questions. Any comments, suggestions or questions about the CannaButter recipe are more than welcome Bob.:stoned: Rating: 5
