CBD BBQ Sauce
A light tangy and slightly spicy BBQ sauce. Goes well with ribs or steak. Can be added to hot dogs. Keeps for 2 weeks in a tupperware container in the refridgerator.
Ingredients:
- 2 grams Isolate CBD or 1 Full dropper of Hempstrax 10,000mg Cinnamon CBD Tincture
- Ketchup – 4 cups of your favorite ketchup as the base in this recipe. I like Trader Joe’s organic ketchup
- Apple Cider Vinegar – helps add tang – 3 – 5 tablespoons.
- Brown Sugar – just 1/2 cup of brown sugar not only helps sweeten the sauce but deepens the flavor adding just a hint of molasses flavor.
- Honey – use a couple of tablespoons of your favorite honey. You can use maple syrup instead
- Worcestershire sauce – this balances the sweetness with savory flavor in the sauce. I like to use 5 tablespoons
- Meat Seasoning – we love a good steak pepper powder
- Lemon Juice – A tablespoon of fresh or bottled lemon juice adds just the perfect amount of acid to this sauce to make it perfect.
- Hot Sauce – I love a spicy BBQ sauce – I add 3 tablespoons.
- Paprika – ¼ teaspoon
- Dry Mustard – ½ teaspoon
Blend all ingredients (except the CBD). Blend for 30 seconds in a blender. Heat on the stove on high for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Stir in CBD. Great to use on the BBQ rib recipe.

- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 cup of light Greek yoghurt or sour cream
Cook the potatoes at a low roiling boil for 15-20 minutes. Drain. Add to a bowl. Allow to cool for at least 45 minutes. Mix all other ingredients and gently toss with the potatoes. Garnish with more parsley. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Top with more black pepper
Baby Back Ribs with CBD BBQ Sauce
