Yes, MG, they can be freezed that way too. In fact, I make fudge pops just like that. I form them into about 1 inch balls and freeze. When they are not quite solid, I put the lollipop stick in and dip in the melted chocolate. I put back in the freezer until the chocolate is set. I find that if they are in there too long, they start to sweat when you remove them.

Just finished a 3 pound batch! With wetting the cheese cloth and a second rinse, still lost 1/2 cup plus butter somewhere. Kind of like socks in a dryer...

 

[dirtsurfr]

OK I'm going to tell you what I do and it works 2ozs weed 6 cups water 4 cubes real butter and... 1 cube margarine
I get rite at 4 cups. but if I'm short I just sture in a little veg oil to make it up. Pictures to follow..

I think I maybe leveling out some man these are gonna do good
Found out I had 5 ozs of mixed trimm in the last batch. Kinda figured ther was a bunch when I was squezzing
a grapefruit sized wad in my cheese cloth.

Okay, I feel better knowing you lose at least a stick of butter/marg in the process, too! Out of the 3 lb. batch, I lost 2+ sticks. Double rinse, plus wet cheesecloth. Didn't do Fumble's c-clamp maneuver, tho!

Going to just plan on losing a stick per lb. So many great gift ideas on this thread. Need production more than I need to save 50 cents. Just going to think of it in the same way socks disappear in the dryer...somewhere there's a lot of cannabutter snickering.

OK here's some pictures

#1 65grams butter and grinder
#2 in the pot with 6 cups of water for 9 hrs.
#3 cheese cloth notice how it's a tube? I get it at Napa Auto. The Rubber and cloth gloves works well.
#4 see how nice it goes over the bowl 1 less thing to hold on to
#5 Squeezing the cheese cloth
#6 This is how I seal the bowl before I put it in the fridge for the night.

I have no idea why Napa stocks cheese cloth, but it looks a lot finer grade than what I bought at JoAnn's Fabrics in the crafts department! Great pics!

Great tutorial there dirtsrfr. I am def going to Napa for my cheescloth from now on. I'm with you MG. Much better than what I get at Joanne.

 

[dirtsurfr]

Great but make sure you rinse it good with hot hot water before you use it, I sweer I can smell car wax on it but after a good rinse
nothing My wife can't smell any thing so it could all be in my mind lol

Stumbled on another old recipe that adapts very well to canna products. Another savory dish. I make a double or triple batch of this and freeze in small containers for a quick vegetarian pasta meal.


Tagliatelle with Walnut Sauce

Fresh pasta is the best if you can make it or buy it. Costco carries old fashioned thick egg noodles if you can't.

3/4 cup whole walnuts
3 tablespoons (canna) butter
1/4 (canna) olive oil
3 to 4 tablespoons of milk
2 to 3 tablspoons ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
salt and freshly ground pepper

Put walnuts in a blender or food processor and process until finely chopped. Add butter, oil, milk, ricotta cheese & parsley. Blend at high speed to a thin sauce. Season salt and pepper. Cook pasta. Add walnut sauce and toss gently. Serve with Parmesan cheese. (4 servings)

 

[dirtsurfr]

is that a 1/4 (cup)??????

 

[mountaingarden]

is that a 1/4 (cup)??????

Sorry. Yes, it's 1/4 cup!

(This is a recipe where the nutty flavor of the canna olive oil I made is perfect.)

 

[dirtsurfr]

I have all that in my pantry, This will go good with a BBQd pork steak tonight.

 

[mountaingarden]

Update on Hot CannaButter Rum Batter. It's an OMG experience. Friends at Solstice Party were lavish in their praise. Interestingly, those who don't drink and had "virgin" hot cannabuttered non-rum liked it best. Truly a winner!j I am close to the whirlies on 3. Nice end to a 3 day run up to a great event. Wish I could figure out how to post pics!

That recipe makes a lot. It makes nearly 3 16 oz. containers. I packed some up in 1/2 c. plastic containers (thank you Cash & Carry) to send home as Holiday gifts. Probably about 4 good servings per gift.

Great fun to tuck little plastic containers of frozen hot rum batter in people's coats as they were leaving. Everybody was thrilled. Such an easy gift!

Wish I could figure out how to post pictures of the lantern launch! It was great!
