Cannabis Infused Ketchup Recipe: Best 5-Step Weed Ketchup

Cannabis Infused Ketchup: Dosing and Potency Tips

Getting the dose right is the most important step when making cannabis infused ketchup. Two cannabis sources are used here — infused honey and tincture pulp — which work together to boost potency. If your infused honey is already strong, skip the tincture pulp and use honey alone.

Tincture pulp (the leftover dried plant matter from making tincture) still contains residual cannabinoids. As Fordee notes in the video, adding pulp to cannabis infused ketchup is a “Russian roulette” dose — useful for boosting a weak batch but harder to dial in precisely. Always start with a small serving and wait 90 minutes before eating more.

Cannabis Ketchup vs Store-Bought: Why Homemade Wins

The difference between homemade cannabis ketchup and a bottle off the shelf is night and day. Store-bought ketchup is mostly high-fructose corn syrup with a little tomato flavour. This cannabis ketchup is made with real crushed tomatoes, caramelised aromatics, curry powder, allspice, and apple cider vinegar — a complex, spiced condiment that happens to get you high.

The extra work is worth it. A batch takes about 45 minutes total and keeps for three weeks in the fridge. You end up with 500 ml of the best ketchup you will ever taste, infused with a full batch of cannabis honey.

Weed Ketchup: How to Use It

Weed ketchup is one of the most versatile infused condiments you can make. Here is how to use it:

• On burgers and fries — the classic use. One tablespoon of strong weed ketchup is usually enough for a comfortable session.
• As a dipping sauce — use as-is for nuggets, onion rings, or roasted vegetables.
• Mixed into fry sauce — blend weed ketchup with mayo for a cannabis-dosed dipping sauce.
• On the go — portion into a small sealed container and carry it to any restaurant. Add it to your order tableside for a discreet infused upgrade anywhere.

Weed Infused Ketchup: Storage and Shelf Life

Store your weed infused ketchup in a clean, sealed glass jar in the refrigerator. The apple cider vinegar acts as a natural preservative and keeps the weed infused ketchup fresh for up to three weeks. Label the jar with the date you made it. If you use it regularly, make a fresh batch weekly — 45 minutes of prep time is nothing when the result lasts all week.
