I'm glad you dig the recipe, Maritimer!
I wonder if we could bump up the potency
I think you could- just use more weed when you do the infusion- I do a cup of oil per ounce of weed, but I think an ounce and a half per cup would work just fine, maybe even 2oz. if you use a Magic Butter Machine- you could add the extra weed after the machine grinds up the first bunch o buds...
Here's the recipe, so you don't have to go hunting for it:
So now you've got the oil,and you want to make some gummies...here's how I do it...
You'll need:
1 pkg sugar free jello mix (0.6 oz size)
1pkg regular (with sugar) jello mix (3 oz size)
2 1/4 oz.packets plain gelatin
1/4 cup light corn syrup
* 1/4 cup water <------ you can substitute your favorite liqueur for the water,or the corn syrup, for a little less "sweetness"
1/2 cup infused oil (I infuse 1oz. mj per cup of oil)
Put all the dry ingredients in a pan, add the water and corn syrup.
Heat it on medium heat,stirring constantly,till it just starts to boil around the edges.
All the powdered stuff should be well dissolved before adding the oil...<--- Important!!
Add the oil and keep stirring till it just starts to boil again,then remove from the heat.
At this point,you're gonna say "this shit aint working-the oil is just floating on top"
So... to remedy this, you keep stirring while the mixture cools just a little- as it cools it will thicken up a bit,
and the oil will start to mix in- this is what you want.
Once all the oil is mixed in, it's time to make some gummies...
Now, you need to hurry just a little so it doesn't set up before you get it into the molds.
Pour the mix into a squirt bottle (put a glove on,it's hot) , fill your gummy molds,and stick them in the freezer.
There will be some of the mixture stuck in the squirt bottle and in the pan- you can either just wash it out, or you can eat it for a nice buzz- just don't eat too much-it's easy to end up "too high" if you're not careful.
After they set up, pop them out of the molds into a tupperware container, or anything with a lid that seals.
You can store them at room temp,but they get a little oily above 78f ,so I keep them in the freezer.
and there ya go!
*Strawberry Banana jello does a real good job of (almost) hiding the cannabis taste.
Added note* My gummy bears weigh 4g. each- 1 bear is a nice mild buzz, good for sleep.
2 bears and you are stoned in a major way.
3 bears and you'll be wishing you'd stopped at 2 bears..
