THC-infused edibles

Sweet, fruity and irresistibly delicious. Who doesn’t like a tasty gummy or two?

While the THC in cannabis gets a lot of credit for its relaxing effects, the terpene Myrcene, found naturally in both cannabis and mangoes, can also help to ease anxiety too.

These gummies, made in the style of French pâte de fruit, balance the relaxing effects of cannabis with the tropical flavors of mango and lime. It’s the perfect treat to help you unwind after a long day.

We have the perfect THC-infused gummy recipe for you, your friends and anybody that you want to share a treat with: THC-infused Sour Mango Gummies!

Why infuse Gummies with THC?

Not only are whipped THC gummies and fun, they are relatively small and discreet. Which makes them a perfect treat to share and enjoy with friends!

Ready to start? Then here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients for making THC-Infused Sour Mango Gummies:

Neutral oil or nonstick spray, for greasing
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Pectin
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, plus ¼ cup for coating
2 tablespoons agave syrup
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (from ½ lime)
1/2 pound fresh (or thawed frozen) chopped mango (about 1¼ cups)
1/3 cup mango juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons cannabis tincture
2 teaspoons calcium water

Instructions for making THC-Infused Sour Mango Gummies:

Lightly grease a 9x9-inch pan with neutral oil or spray, then line with plastic wrap.
Whisk the pectin into ½ cup of sugar in a small bowl. Combine the agave and lime juice in another small bowl.
In a food processor or blender, purée the mango pieces and mango juice. Strain through a sieve into a 2-quart saucepan, discarding any chunky bits. Add the salt and tincture to the saucepan and set over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the pot or have an instant-read thermometer available to use.
After 1 to 2 minutes, when the mango purée starts to bubble around the edges (and the mixture reaches 150°F/65°C), add the pectin-sugar mixture and the calcium water while vigorously whisking. Cook for 1 minute while whisking constantly. Now add ½ cup of sugar, still whisking. Add the agave and lime juice, still whisking. Add another ½ cup of sugar and whisk until all of the sugar dissolves. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture starts to coagulate and the bubbles make big pops, making sure the mixture stays below 200°F (93°C).
Pour into the prepared pan and spread out with a rubber spatula. Let cool at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, until the pâte de fruit is cool to the touch and set.
With a sharp knife, cut the pâte de fruit into small cubes, 16 rows and 16 columns, for a total of 256 pieces. (Greasing the knife with a neutral oil can be helpful.)
When you’re ready to eat, combine the remaining ¼ cup of sugar with citric acid. Coat the finished pâte de fruit in the citric sugar right before serving.

And voila! You’ve just made a delicious, easy and fun THC-infused Sour Mango Gummies, perfect for parties, holidays or get-togethers with friends.

Storing your THC-Infused Sour Mango Gummies:

Generally, Gummies like these taste best right after coating.

You can leave some uncoated in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, then coat in citric sugar just before serving.

Gummies can last in the fridge for about 14 days. To preserve their freshness, store them in a sealed container in the fridge and away from heat sources.
