First time doing butter.

So, with my recent harvest I made butter using the recipe found on the GrowFaq on these forums.

So I ended up with.

1 Ounce of Cannabis
7 cups of water
4 sticks of real unsalted butter.

Grind up cannabis as fine as you can make it.
Add cannabis water, and butter to crock pot. Cook on high for 3 hours, then on low for another 3 hours. Strain through 5 layers of cheese cloth into a container (yes, I said 5. I hate floaties in my weed butter lol), then leave in fridge to set over night.
After you drain out the waste water, It is probably a good idea to re-melt the butter, and using a straw, you can siphon off the last little bit of water out of the butter. Remember water is denser than butter/oil, so water falls out of the butter into the bottom of the container, and can be sucked out. (DO NOT DRINK THE WATER!!!!)

Here are the results. I ended up with 1 and 1/2 cups of cannabis butter.

(NOTE: the 2 litter bottle is just there for size comparison)

very nice dude, you wound up with the right yield of that butter. looks awesome, +rep

suggestions: switch to unsalted butter and just go 2hrs high 2hrs low on a crock pot. trust me, the butter is far better, i have used 3/3 hr cycles before.

Yeah, I used the unsalted butter.


Now my only dilemma is what to make with it.

I would like to try to make something like truffles or maybe some peanut brittle. Something holidayish.

i love making caramel infused with cannabis and vanilla.
rice kripies in the shape of elves.
croissants

So, I can pretty much substitute the canna-butter for any recipe that requires butter right ?

This same method would work on other herbs as well wouldn't it ?

it mostly would not, because its the THC thats soluble in the lipids. so if those herbs had lipid soluble compounds they would. the herbs will change the butter's flavor, however.
