Homemade Strawberry Cannabis Jam
Making homemade strawberry cannabis jam can be as simple or as hands-on as you want it to be. Whether you’re starting with pre-made cannabutter or crafting your own infusion from scratch, this recipe is flexible enough to fit your process.
If you already have infused butter prepared—whether using an infusion machine or a traditional stovetop method—you’re one step closer to a flavorful, elevated spread. For those who enjoy a more DIY approach, creating your own cannabutter allows you to control potency and tailor the experience to your preferences.
How to Pick Your Strawberries for Cannabis Jam
Using store-bought frozen strawberries is perfectly fine, making this recipe accessible year-round. If it’s strawberry season, fresh strawberries from the local farmer’s market would be even better! If you’ve got a green thumb and grow your own fruits, vegetables, or herbs, you can create a truly homemade treat.
Choose Your Infusion: CBD or THC
Before you begin the recipe, decide which type of infusion you want to use. A CBD-infused version offers a more mellow, non-psychoactive experience, making it a better option for daytime use. On the other hand, a THC-infused jam may be more suitable for evening use when relaxation is the goal. The type of cannabutter you choose will directly affect how the final product feels, so plan accordingly.
How to Enjoy Your Strawberry Jam
This strawberry cannabis jam pairs well with toast, pastries, or even as a topping for desserts. Some people prefer a light spread for subtle effects, while others may adjust their serving size based on their desired experience. Starting with a small amount is always a practical approach.
Experiment With More Flavors
Once you’ve mastered this recipe, you can easily experiment with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries. The same method applies, giving you the flexibility to create a variety of cannabis infused jams.
As a final note, always label your jars clearly and store them safely. This helps prevent any confusion and ensures that anyone handling the cannabis jam is aware that it contains cannabis.
Cannabis Strawberry Jam Recipe
Ingredients
- 460 g fresh or frozen strawberries, finely chopped
- 150 g white sugar
- 118 ml infused cannabutter
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Add the finely chopped strawberries, sugar, cannabutter, lemon juice, kosher salt, and stir to combine in a medium saucepan. Heat mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula. Once the mixture bubbles up, reduce the heat down to low.
- Cook the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly until the jam is thick. To test if the jam is ready, I usually like to run my spatula along the bottom of the saucepan in a straight line.
- The jam is ready if it takes more than a second for the line to fill back up. I like to err on the side of caution and take the jam off almost too early. If it doesn’t set enough, you can always return it back to the heat. You can always add some more cannabutter to the jam to help thicken the jam up as well.
- Once ready, remove the jam from the heat and transfer it to a heat-proof container, or jar with a lid. Let the jam cool completely at room temperature with the lid off, then seal it up and transfer it to the fridge.
- Stored properly in an airtight container, this jam will last for up to one month in the fridge and up to six months in the freezer.
Results
This cannabis jam is very versatile, adding a sweet and fruity element to countless meals and snacks.
Your homemade strawberry cannabis jam is perfect to use as a filling for stuffed french toast, spread onto some homemade cannabuttermilk biscuits, or even as a topping on waffles or pancakes.
