We start with a quart or two of water in a crockpot on high, add three lbs of butter and six zips of quality trim, for a two ounces to one pound ratio.
Put the trim thru a food processor to break it into powder, then add it to the crockpot and stir well. Let it cook for 6-8 hours, then strain the budder out of the mixture with cheesecloth and discard the solids. The harder you squeeze, the more budder you'll get back. Return the budder to the crockpot.
To clarify, chill the crock until the budder solidifies and then take it out and set it aside, then empty the rest of the fluid water and solids out of the crockpot. Put the budder back in and pour boiling water over it to fully melt it, usually one teapot's worth will do it. Stir, then chill the crockpot to solidify the budder again. Repeat the melting process three times, discarding the water each time. You'll see that the water goes from a nasty dark greenish to almost clear. This will make your budder taste a lot less 'green'.
Using this recipe for the budder will all but guarantee potent baked goods!
We have not found the very best way to squeeze ALL of the budder out of the trim, so suggestions would be appreciated!
