How to Make Cannabis-Infused Ketchup

Ingredients:

• 1/2 tsp salt.
• 2 cups fresh tomatoes (or canned, no judgment 😉).
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar.
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (or honey).
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika.
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder.
• 1/4 tsp onion powder.
• 1-2 tbsp cannabis-infused oil.
• A pinch of cayenne (optional).

Tools:

• Saucepan.
• Blender or immersion blender.
• Fine mesh strainer.
• Glass jar.

Instructions:

1. Cook the tomatoes: Put your chopped tomatoes and apple cider vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat. Let it cook gently for 10-15 minutes until they’re soft.

2. Blend it: Use a blender or stick blender to make the mix smooth.

3. Add the good stuff: Mix in the brown sugar, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne (if you’re using it).

4. Simmer some more: Turn the heat down low and let the mix cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring now and then.

5. Add the cannabis oil: After the ketchup has gotten thicker, take it off the heat and stir in your cannabis oil. Do this while it’s still warm, but not boiling hot (so it still works!).

6. Strain and keep: If you want it really smooth, push the ketchup through a fine strainer. Put it in a glass jar and let it cool down all the way before you seal it up.

Tips For Better Cannabis-Infused Ketchup

You want that perfect blend of flavor and, well, you know… effect. So, here’s the inside scoop on how to make your ketchup top-shelf:

• Grab Some Great Tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes make all the difference. Think about using organic ones or those super flavorful vine-ripened kind if you can find them. They’ll give your ketchup a richer taste.
  
  
• Cool It Down a Bit: Don’t add the cannabis oil when the ketchup is boiling hot. That can mess with the THC. Let it cool down a little first, then stir the oil in gently. This way, you’ll keep the good stuff working.
  
  
• Make It Silky Smooth: Want ketchup like they serve in fancy restaurants? Use a stick blender to whiz it up, then strain it. This will get rid of any lumps and make it incredibly smooth.
  
  
• Taste and Tweak: Give your ketchup a taste as you go. You might want to add a little more sugar, vinegar, or spices. Getting the right mix of sweet, sour, and savory is what makes ketchup amazing.
  
  
• Store It Right: Keep your special ketchup in a sealed glass jar. This will help it stay fresh and keep its potency.
  
  
• Shake It Up: The oil might separate a bit after a while. So, give the jar a good shake or stir before you use it.

Now that you’ve got the ultimate cannabis-infused ketchup recipe, it’s time to get creative! Experiment with different sweeteners, spice levels, and infusion bases to make it your own.

Happy Cooking!
