Flavour Curing By Chow

[chow]

Please dont post untill its finished,it makes for a better read in the long run,thanks.

So I was asked by a couple of people to explain how I flavour cure.This is by no means a way of changing the flavour of your Mj,just a way of enhancing what flavour is already there.In this case I will be using oranges and lemons.

Try to get unwaxed fruit,organic is the best bet.If you cant just wash the wax off.
Cut the fruit in half and juice them,do what you want with the juice.

Bake the skins in the oven for 20mins on gas mark 2/149 celcius or 300 fahrenheit.
You will end up with something like this

Nows your cance to get rid of as much of the "pith"(thats the white bit)It should pull out quite easily.
You will then end up with something like this

 

[chow]

Now you want to slice the peel into matchstick sized strips,once this is done you can then cut off the rest of the pith.This is quite bitter and has some moisture in it still.The idea is to be left with strips of dry peel,any moisture will spoil the cure and the end result.
You should end up with something like this

 

[chow]

Now you need a peice of cheese cloth cut into a square(or a pair of your girlfriend pantyhoes will do),You want to make a fruit tea bag,pack the peel in tightly and tie it with a peice of string.You can mix flavours or leave it all one flavour.
It should look something like this.

 

[chow]

Now you want to susspend the bag in your curing jar making sure its not touching your weed.I like to leave a long string so I can close it in the jar.
It sould look like this

 

[chow]

For this I used a half oz of mj,one whole orange and half a lemon.
Cure your mj in the normal way,but change your bag for a new one every 10 days or so.
Im sure you will be happy with the end result.
Have fun...

Chow.

Interesting, but i can't get the image out
of my head of a poor skunk,
sliced to pieces hanging over my weed. lol
I am half tempted to go down in the D and
pick up some dirt weed to try this on.

What if I already harvested, and dried, and am 2 weeks into the curing process????? Still do-able? Or just a waste of time at this point?

I suppose it depends on how much longer you are gonna cure for?If you are gonna cure for another 2 weeks or more its worth doing.I have found that anything under 10days or so the buds wont adopt the scent,give it a try and let me know what you think.
