Summer is finally here and it’s time to get saucy! There’s nothing better than a barbecue by the lake on a hot July 4th weekend. But this holiday is notoriously family-friendly so many smokers feel out-of-place hotboxing their camping tent next to grandma. But here at Marijuana.com, we’ve got your back. Now you can medicate (or recreate) without the huge clouds of smoke. Introducing…infused condiments. You were going to use them anyway, why not make them medicated?!
The following recipes will teach you how to make the top three condiments from scratch (which means no high fructose corn syrup!) Making these sauces at home (or on-the-go) is surprisingly simple and you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen cabinet.
Note: If you don’t feel like whipping up sauces from scratch, it’s just as enjoyable to mix canna-oil or cannabis distillate into store-bought condiments.
Once your sauces are nice and infused, be sure to label them well so you don’t surprise anyone with an unexpected high.
1 tablespoon of infused olive or coconut oil (or sub 1 tablespoon of distillate)
6 ounces (1 small can) of tomato paste
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup of water
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic power
1/8 teaspoon of allspice
Throw all the ingredients into a medium saucepan and whisk together. Once the mixture is brought to a boil, turn down the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30-60 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator before using. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Mustard
What You’ll Need:
1 tablespoon of infused olive or coconut oil (or sub 1 tablespoon of distillate)
4 tablespoons of dry ground mustard
1/4 cup of water
3 tablespoons of white distilled vinegar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon of turmeric (optional* for color)
Whisk all ingredients together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened — about 5 minutes. Cool completely before using. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
BBQ Sauce
What You’ll Need:
1 tablespoon of infused olive or coconut oil (or sub 1 tablespoon of distillate)
2 cups of ketchup
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
5 tablespoons of light brown sugar
5 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 tablespoon of ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon of onion powder
1/2 tablespoon of ground mustard
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Keep simmering, uncovered, stirring often, for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
We hope these sauces bring a new high to your 4th of July!
