Christmas Recipes for Special Presents.

Hey dirtsurfr....I think you're somewhat in my neck-o-the-woods. I got my coconut oil at Elliot's health foods. But I think you can prob find it in any health store. I have some, but haven't tried that method yet. I am saving that for when I get some hash made. I have been doing a lot with chocolate lately. I use a solid shortening (like crisco, you know, the solid white stuff in a can?). Adding the shortening to chocolate makes it smoother and shinier - besides a nice healthy dose of high!

Fumble, can you post your ratio of bud/trim/etc. to Crisco, please? I have a killer oatmeal cookie recipe that absolutely must have crisco. All the posts about cookie dough made me think of it, but never thought about making canna crisco!

It's a "refrigerator dough" you can freeze, so I made some a couple Xmases ago to go with containers of frozen soup I made as "lunch kits" for single friends. Every single one (male & female) later told me they ate the dough raw. Most of the time I do, too! 'Way too easy to take a log out of the freezer and slice off "just a tiny bit" until there's not enough left to bake. Making it with "canna-crisco" would be divine, but dangerous. Thanks!

Here's the oatmeal cookie recipe that would be pretty amazing with "canna crisco". I have used this recipe for 20 years, so can recommend it "straight" and assure you that it's not nearly as good with butter. Some recipes don't need to be tuned up.

“[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]As You Need Them” Oatmeal Cookies[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]1 ½ cups Crisco[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]2 cups brown sugar[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]1 cup white sugar[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]2 eggs[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]1 teasp soda[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]1 cup white flour [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]1 cup whole wheat flour[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]It helps to have a KitchenAid or other strong mixer![/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]The theory is, you slice off as many cookies as will be consumed warm from the oven and...[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]The reality is, most people just eat the dough raw. Enjoy![/FONT]

I get ripped from eatting raw dough.

 

[fumble]

I so have to make those MG!
@ dirtsurfr, I get ripped off my ass while baking. hehehe

I'm almost retired and when I'm not working I'm doing some thing with cooking.
I have to get some scales so I have a good idea of how much i use, if not just for me and
who ever Else uses my budder.
I have a 1/2 lb of Indica I'm going to use for budder that I hope will be camping, love to camp get spaced and stare into the fire.
I have Sativa that I'll use for days I have to keep moving.
I also have a 1/2 lb or so of trim from my box trimmer x6 different plants.
Also a bunch of Afgooy I don't care for the taste when smoked.
So I have plenty for cooking with......

Don't forget to post your Crisco ratio! Can't wait for the new and improved version and Xmas is coming!

For sure get a scale! My first batch of canna-butter was lethal because I threw in as much as a pound of butter would saturate. No clue of dosage. :-/ Turned out beyond pain management, into not fun. Much easier to cook with if you have a standard "dose". From growing to medicating, this whole deal is a real learning curve.

So agree it's great fun to be able to experiment with all the trim. Also gratifying because harvesting/trimming is such a mess for an individual grower...nice to use the trash! Learned the hard way de-carbing before making canna-olive oil isn't my favorite. Probably fine for tomato based sauces, lasagna, etc., but too nutty for salad dressing. Next batch will be from Northern Lights that doesn't smoke well. Cured and ground, in a crockpot. 2 oz of "green" trim (not de-carbed) per 2 cups of extra virgin olive oil.

Really want to develop a tasty olive oil for Christmas gifts. Maybe add garlic cloves or rosemary stems to the bottle...

Ok, soooo weird...I swear I posted the ratio! Musta been stoned. I am not exactly sure on the numbers but I think it was 57.something grams nice nuggety trim to 2 sticks of the crisco (they come in 3 packs, but I had already used one.) I don't know how to figure out the dosage on that. Since I got a scale, I have been using 300gms per 8 sticks butter. Would you happen to know how to break that down into dosage? I usually use 1 cup buddah per recipe.

 

[dirtsurfr]

I think it would come to 74.9999 Grams per batch divided by how many servings you get.
Daym that musta put you in space LOL..

 

[fumble]

Is there such a thing as too much weed? lol

 

[dirtsurfr]

not for me, just did I get everything done before I dive into these Brownies LOL!!!!
I'm gonna stay at 2 ozs per 1 lb o butter ratio Max. any more and everyone else is just nodding

Here's a link on how to do the math. I think there's a better explanation in a book at home, but I'm traveling, so will have to look it up when I get back. Meanwhile, it's a start:

Forgot to say thanks for the canna-crisco ratios, Fumble!

 

[fumble]

Thank you so much. That helps a lot. Damn! I have hella strong buddah! I actually mixed in an extra cup of plain butter to the cup of canna butter for a couple of batches of cookies (snack attack packs), so don't want them that loaded. hehehe

Yep...it was after giving myself a bad case of the whirlies I realized doing the math was important! "Aunt Sandy's Medical Marijuana Cookbook" has a ratio chart. She uses an oz. or bud or 4 oz. of leaf trim (per pound of butter I think) for her strongest, 3/4 oz bud/3 oz.trim for high strength, 1/2 oz/2 oz for elevated strength (whatever that is) and 1/2 oz/1 oz. for low strength. Obviously, quality of the plants is the first baseline!

Probably overthinking this, but don't want to give Christmas gifts that paralyze people or make the bed take off if you don't have one foot on the floor...

those sound yummy dirtsurfr! I will be trying these for sure.

 

[dirtsurfr]

all you guys going to the BBQ be safe and have fun maybe next time for me.
And when I find that my budder is too strong I just "water" it down with straight butter.
So if I want to calm it down say by 1/2 I take half a cube of canna and add a half cube of straight butter, then it's half as strong...

 

[fumble]

Got Damn! Great minds think alike. Hehehehe. I just did that too. I made my usual hella strong butter, made my yin yang cookies (very strong couch lock), then added equal parts regular butter to the rest of the canna butter. So now, I get to make more out of the same amount. And now, not everything will be an ass knocker. lol

 

[dirtsurfr]

Man I need scales bad I got budder simmering with a 1 Gal. Ziplock worth of trim and small bud...
How much weed can a 1 Gal Ziplock bag hold???
I know my 5 gal crock pot is very full!!!
