Cannabutter Recipe

Directions

1. Lay a clean tea towel in the bottom of your crockpot to buffer the glass jar against the bottom of the crock. Add enough water to the crockpot to come at least 3/4 of the way to the top of the number of jars you're using.
2. Stick a digital thermometer in your water bath and turn the crockpot on high. Allow the water bath to come up to 185°F and then turn to low.
3. While the crockpot is heating up, decarb your cannabis if you haven't already. Add the butter and decarboxylated cannabis to a clean mason jar and screw on the lid finger tight.
4. Place your sealed jar in the crock and cook on low for four hours, maintaining a temperature of 185°F.
5. After four hours strain your butter and weed through a fine-mesh strainer/cheesecloth into a clean container, jar, or butter mold. See our straining notes below.
6. Allow the butter to cool and solidify completely in the fridge or freezer.
7. Once solid, carefully remove the butter from its container and scrape the sludge off the bottom. You can toss the sludge or save it. Some say the sludge is effective in coffee. Discard any separated water before transferring your butter to a container or butter mold for storage.
8. Enjoy your butter on toast, use it in recipes, or see notes below for storage information.
