Hey everyone,
So a few months back I completed my first batch of butter. I came up with a pretty detailed method, and everything went great except for one thing: I was worried about overcooking in the crockpot so I only ended up letting it cook for 1/2 hour to an hour. I finished like normal, but instead of discarding the pulp (which is pretty much a clump of medicine and unreclaimed butter), I froze it and thought that next time I'd just throw it in my mix and let the whole thing cook longer.
It was pretty well frozen, so the buttery part of it I'm sure hasn't spoiled, but I'm curious about the medicine portion- have I already sucked all the good stuff out with my 1 hour cook? I had premium stuff and the end product could have been better (but was still the best results I've personally gotten from cooking). I'm assuming if I throw it in for a 6 hour cook it will get it that little better.
If it does work, I'm considering making the step of adding the last cooks pulp to be a part of my regular routine in the future. Can it help? Can it hurt? Is it a big unknown that nobody else has bothered with?
