Delicious Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie recipe from our chef Laurie Wolfe

Hello Backers!

Rumor has it there's a little holiday coming up called Thanksgiving... so I got in touch with one of our celebrity chefs, Laurie Wolfe, and asked if she could whip something up for you! I was worried she'd be too busy sunbathing and reflecting on the success of Herb: Mastering the Art of Cooking with Cannabis, but no, she was itching to get back into the kitchen for you guys!

Together with her partner Bruce (who created the stunning images for the book), she came up with this delicious pumpkin pie recipe: Laurie Wolfe's "Special" Pumpkin Pie

If this pie is meant to be shared with non cannabis users, why not infuse the sour cream sauce? That way only the ones who care to indulge can do so, with a drizzle to a dollop of this creamy canna-bliss. 

Happy Thanksgiving, and let's get some peace on earth going too. 

 "Special" Pumpkin Pie

Serves 8

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
• 1 cup cream
• 3 tablespoons canna-butter, melted and cooled 
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg 
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger 
• 1 pie crust* 
  

Directions

Heat oven to 350 

1. In a mixing bowl beat the eggs and the sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add the pumpkin, cream, canna-butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Mix well.
3. Pour into a pie crust* and bake till done. The pie will rise during baking and then settle when cooling.
4. Serve with a dollop of brown sugar sour cream sauce.**

Pie Crust* 

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks butter, unsalted
• 1/3 to ½ cup water 
  

 Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half, and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
2. Roll out dough on a floured counter. Don't over work it. Use as directed in pie recipe. You can freeze the other half for up to 3 months. 

Sour cream sauce** 

If you want to infuse the sauce, add the 3 tablespoons of melted and cooled canna-butter to the sour cream. Increase all the spices by ½ teaspoon. 

Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon cloves
• ¼ teaspoon ginger 

Method

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Chill for an hour to meld flavors.

Check out this exclusive Halloween recipe from Herb author Laurie Wolf!

Hello Backers!

Herb: Mastering the Art of Cooking with Cannabis just became the #1 New Release in  Herb, Spice and Condiment Cooking on Amazon! And on a personal note, I just received my copies down under in New Zealand. It’s amazing to be able to hold the result of so much hard work and dedication in my hands!

I’d like to give you all a little treat to help thank you for making this book a reality... well, 3 treats really! One of our amazing chefs, Laurie Wolf, has put together some special Halloween recipes just for us! Here’s the first one, and I’ll send the other two along between now and Halloween.

Apple Mouth

“Halloween is not just for kids anymore.  Whether you are gonna be Snoop Dogg, Seth Rogen, Cheech or Chong, these infused treats will get your 21 and over party off with a bang. Or was that a bong!”

Who you calling apple mouth?

Ingredients

• Apple wedges
• Lemon juice
• Peanut butter
• Canna-oil
• Mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Place the apples on your work surface.  Toss with the lemon juice.
2. In a small bowl,  combine peanut butter with canna-oil.
3. Spread one side of half the apple slices with the peanut butter and place another apple slice on top. You will be forming a mouth of sorts.
4. Place the marshmallows in the peanut butter between the apple lips.
