Here's a great way to use up that trim:

I use two to four ounces of dried trim for this recipe.

Chop up the trim like you would chop Parsley for cooking.

Melt two to four sticks of butter (half to a full pound) in a large saute' pan. As the butter melts, add water and the trim. Bring everthing up to a simmer and STIR. Not too hot, just a LIGHT boil. As the water evaporates, add more water. Just keep it simmering, and you keep STIRRING for about 45 minutes. You want as much of the THC to be absorbed into the butter as possible without burning the butter. If the butter burns, the mix is ruined, so stir, stir and STIR some more.

After about 45 minutes, pour the entire mixture, weed, butter & water into a plastic container with a lid. Tupperware is perfect for this.

Now, put the container into the freezer and let it freeze overnight.

The next day, take the container out of the freezer. You will notice three distinct layers. The butter will be a light green. The trim will be dark green. The water will be ice.

Warm the container a little under the faucet so everything seperates from the sides of the container.

Now, slip the three layers out of the container and cut each layer apart with a sharp knife. Careful not to cut yourself.

Keep the butter and throw away the leaf and the ice.

Now, you can put the butter back into the container and store it in the freezer for later cooking.

I use the Canna-butter in my cookie recipe instead of the oil the recipe calls for. Just cut off a chunk of the butter and melt it in the microwave on "defrost" to get the required amount called for in the recipe.

When you use the butter along with 1/4 oz of really good bud in your cookie mix, you have just made some of the best canna-cookies this sidi of heaven. Just GREAT for treating medical needs like spasms caused by neurological diseases.

Good luck ...

I use cannabutter regularly. I can't see why you would put plant matter in the cookies too. That's the whole idea behind making the butter, so you don't have to include the plant matter. But to each his own.

I've used the stovetop boil with water method, but now I use a crockpot. That way I can use butter only, and it won't burn. I powder the bud/leaf in a food processor, and I mean to a flour-like powder, and mix with the butter. I heat for 4 hours, and stir every 15 minutes. Sqeeze it all thru some cheesecloth, and you're ready to bake.

One more thing, when you cook with cannabis on a stovetop or countertop, it's best to not do it in bright light. Low light/dark is best, because when cannabis is wetted, bright light will degrade the potency.

I've done it both ways. I like the potency of the cookies when made with both cannabutter and good quality bud. I grow more than what I need for smoking and hash making, so its not a big deal for me to add a quarter oz to the mix.

Oh I see, spice it up with a small amount of some high quality. That's good! probably make the cookies extra green, too.

That's also a good way to perk up some not-strong-enough butter.


Of course, I would never have occasion to use it...

Wish I had some o' those cookies today Vi. Spasms abound, guess cuz the weather is gettin' colder. Can't wait to get enough built up to make some good butter again...soon very soon.

Meee toooo ...

After the heat wave this past summer and the problems with the grow (bacteria), I'm out of cookies, butter and only have a small amount of hash left. Spasms have kept me awake for the last two nights. I'm beat!

Harvest isn't for another six weeks.

Vi

oh you poor baby. Wish I had something for ya. One day I will be able to gift folk...one day *dreamy eyed* . Had in not been for 2 cloning disasters..I'd be there already

Potroast, I have eaten Vi's cookies a few times and I can attest that they will kick your ass.
As a person who have been using cannabis 3/4 of my life (both eating and smoking) Vi's cookies are some of the strongest I have ever had the pleasure to sample.

Actually I made the mistake the first time I ate his cookies of eating 4 of them with my morning coffee, I was fucked for the day.

Dank ...

Honest to Gawd, Bro ... I took six cookies over to a friend's house as a little gift. After I was there for a couple of hours, I asked where the cookies went. His girlfriend said: "I ate them." I said: "Damn! Call 911! He said: "No problem, Vi, she's 24/7." I couldn't believe the woman didn't die ... on the contrary, she just smiled along like she had taken a little hit off a bong or something. Those cookies were from the same batch that only takes me a quarter cookie to get plenty high. Go figure.
