Thanksgiving Cooking With Cannabis. Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and, of course, delicious food.
But why not take your traditional holiday meal to the next level by infusing it with cannabis? Whether you’re making a traditional turkey dinner or something a little more unique, we’ve got some great recipes that will have your guests feeling extra thankful this year.
With a few simple tips, you can infuse your Thanksgiving favorites with weed and create some truly memorable dishes.
Cannabutter
Cannabutter is one of the most versatile ingredients when it comes to cooking with cannabis. You can use it to make all sorts of dishes, from stuffing and gravy to pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce.
Making cannabutter is pretty simple; however, it requires time and patience. First, you’ll need to decarboxylate your weed, which is the process of heating the cannabis to activate the THC.
Once your weed is decarboxylated, melt the butter in a saucepan, add the cannabis and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture steep for another 30 minutes.
After the butter has cooled, strain it through a cheesecloth or a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Store the cannabutter in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Now that you have your cannabutter, it’s time to get cooking! Here are some of our favorite traditional Thanksgiving dishes made with a cannabis-infused twist:
