Here are some cannabis-infused recipes for Thanksgiving that I’ve developed myself over the years or that friends have shared with me. You can find recipes online for how to make cannabis-infused butter, maple syrup and honey. And in some cases, those products (like Doctor Dabs THC honey and Doctor Dabs THC maple syrup) can also be found at local cannabis stores.
Canna-cranberry Brie bites
These decadent mini-bites feature creamy Brie, tangy cranberry sauce, and a drizzle of cannabis-infused honey, baked to perfection in crispy phyllo cups. This crowd-pleasing recipe, shared by a friend, has become a staple at my Danksgiving celebrations.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of mini phyllo cups (about 15 cups)
- 1 small wheel of Brie cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1–2 tsp. cannabis-infused honey (adjust based on potency)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange the phyllo cups on a baking sheet. Place a small cube of Brie in each cup.
- Add about 1 tsp. of cranberry sauce on top of the Brie in each cup.
- Drizzle a tiny amount of cannabis-infused honey over the cranberry sauce.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the Brie is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
Herb-infused gravy
This rich and velvety turkey or mushroom gravy is enhanced with aromatic herbs and cannabis, and is perfect for drizzling over your favorite dishes. This recipe was inspired by a traditional homemade gravy I learned from my grandmother. By incorporating cannabis butter and fresh herbs, it’s become my go-to addition for elevating turkey, mashed potatoes or rolls.
