Barbecue Sauce

The main ingredient in all Fourth of July cookouts is barbecue sauce. Whether you decide to marinate some ribs, pork chops, steak, or chicken, everyone will enjoy this cannabis-infused barbecue sauce!

Ingredients needed:

¼ cup of olive oil

CBD/Hemp Oil—Use only the amount that you would normally consume directly from the bottle in one sitting

2 cups of ketchup

1 cup of water

½ cup of apple cider vinegar

5 tablespoons of brown sugar

5 tablespoons of white sugar

½ tablespoon of fresh ground pepper

½ tablespoon of onion powder

½ tablespoon of garlic powder

½ tablespoon of mustard

1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

To get started on the sauce, add your CBD drops to the olive oil and stir. In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Transfer the sauce into a pot on low heat. Cook for about 12-15 minutes while continuously stirring. Remember to keep the heat on low, as the CBD cannot be cooked at high temperatures. Once the sauce is ready, marinate your meat of choice and toss it on the grill.
