Elevate Your Thanksgiving with a Cannabis-Infused Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving are all about bringing people together, sharing good food, and creating unforgettable moments. This year, why not add a little extra buzz to your festivities with a cannabis-infused pumpkin pie? It’s a delightful way to elevate the holiday spirit and give your guests something to truly be thankful for.

At Holy Buds, we’re here to help you find the perfect flower or concentrate to use in your edible creations, delivered safely and discreetly to your door. Let’s get started with the essential foundation for any cannabis-infused recipe: cannabutter.

How to Make Cannabutter

Cannabutter is the key to creating delicious cannabis-infused treats. Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

• 7–10 grams of cannabis flower (we recommend a hybrid like Sundae Driver for a balanced effect) or 1 gram of concentrate (such as distillate or live resin).

• 1 cup unsalted butter

• 1 cup water

Instructions:

1. Decarb the Cannabis:

   • Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).

   • Break the cannabis flower into small pieces and spread it evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

   • Bake for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This process activates the THC for use in edibles.

2. Melt the Butter:

   • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the water over low heat. The water helps prevent the butter from burning during the infusion process.

3. Infuse the Cannabis:

   • Add the decarbed cannabis (or concentrate) to the saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally. Make sure the mixture never boils.

4. Strain the Butter:

   • Place a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a jar or bowl. Carefully pour the butter mixture through the strainer to remove plant material.

5. Chill and Store:

   • Let the cannabutter cool, then refrigerate until solid. Drain off any water that separates from the butter.

Your cannabutter is now ready to use in any recipe, including the delicious cannabis-infused pumpkin pie below!
