3 Easy Fall Inspired Cannabis Infused Recipes

Fall is the perfect time to cuddle up with some warm blankets, turn on some spooky movies, and enjoy some great food. Whether you’re making something for a potluck or just want to get your medicine in an extra special way, here are some fantastic fall recipes that you can try! And it all begins with cannabutter.

How to Make Cannabutter

Use an online THC calculator to figure out how many grams of flower you need for your appropriate dosing. We recommend about 3.5 grams of a 20% THC flower as a starting point.

• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Grind the decided amount of bud into a course grind. Spread evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the bud is a very light golden colour with as little green as possible (darker strains may make this more difficult to judge).

Slow Cooker Method:

• Pour the baked bud into a clean mason jar.
• Add 1 cup of melted/softened butter and seal loosely with jar lid.
• Place jar upright. in a slow cooker and fill the reservoir with water until just over 1/2 of the jar is submerged.
• Put slow cooker on low-medium heat. Cook the butter for 4-8 hours, opening the jar every 30 minutes to release built up pressure.
• Remove the jar from the slow cooker, briefly let cool and dry completely before opening.

Stovetop Method:

• Pour the baked bud into a saucepan along with 1 cup of butter.
• On a medium heat, melt butter and bring to a light simmer. Lower the heat and cook for 30-60 minutes.
• Remove from heat briefly let cool before moving forward.
• After you have infused your butter, strain out the bud – we recommend a cheese cloth, but a fine mesh sieve is fine.
• Press the flower into the cloth or sieve to release as much butter as possible, being careful of the temperature.
• Let butter solidify at room temperature or in the fridge, letting soften again before use.
