Summary
D elve into this delightful fusion of sweet, fresh peaches and warm, tingly cannabis-infused butter in our Ginger Peach Cannabis Cobbler recipe. Begin by 'activating' your cannabis via decarboxylation, then gently infuse it into butter on a low simmer. As you prepare a vibrant peach filling spiked with ginger and lemon, remember to toss gently to preserve the fruit integrity! A grainy, oat-heavy topping cut with cannabis-butter adds crunch and mellow cannabis flavor. Bake until bubbling, then patiently wait for the thickening magic to occur before serving. Remember to enjoy responsibly, using smaller servings to assess individual tolerance. Try reheating leftovers for a stunning second-round treat.

¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps

Preparation of Cannabis-Infused Butter: Decarboxylate your cannabis by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 245°F (118°C) for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. This process activates the THC/CBD, making it effective when ingested.

Infusing the Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then add the decarboxylated cannabis. Simmer on low for about 45 minutes to an hour. Keep the temperature low to avoid burning, allowing the cannabis to infuse into the butter.

Straining the Butter: Use a cheesecloth-lined strainer to strain the butter, discarding the plant material. Allow the infused butter to cool to a solid form, but it should still be soft for the recipe.

Preparing the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, grated ginger, granulated sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Toss gently to ensure the peaches are evenly coated. The ginger adds a warm, spicy note that complements the sweetness of the peaches beautifully.

Filling the Baking Dish: Transfer the peach mixture to a greased 9-inch square baking dish, spreading it evenly. The lemon juice not only adds brightness to the dish but also helps prevent the peaches from browning.

Making the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in the chilled cannabis-infused butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The oats add a lovely texture and nuttiness to the topping.

Topping the Peaches: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish. This crumbly layer will bake to a crispy, golden brown, offering a delightful contrast to the soft, juicy peaches below.

Baking the Cobbler: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for about 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

Cooling and Serving: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. This resting time lets the filling thicken a bit, making it easier to serve.

Enjoying Your Creation: Serve the cobbler warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra layer of indulgence.
