Why Mason Jar Infusions Are Perfect for Home Cooks

One jar = decarb, infuse, store. Minimal cleanup, precise small batches, and no extra pots. Great for butter, oil, or honey infusions.

Simple Ingredients (1 small batch)

• ½–1 cup unsalted butter or neutral oil
• 3–7 grams decarbed cannabis flower
• ½ cup water (for butter only)
• 1 wide-mouth pint mason jar with lid

Step-by-Step Mason Jar Infusion

  1. 01

    Decarb in the jar

    Add coarsely ground decarbed flower to the mason jar. Loosely screw on lid. Bake at 240°F for 30–40 minutes.

  2. 02

    Add fat & water

    Add butter/oil and water (if using butter). Tighten lid finger-tight.

  3. 03

    Infuse gently

    Place jar in a 170–180°F water bath or low oven for 2–3 hours. Shake gently every 30 minutes.

  4. 04

    Strain & store

    Strain through cheesecloth into a clean jar while warm. Cool, label, and refrigerate or freeze.

Pro Home Cook Tips

Use wide-mouth jars for easy straining
Loosen lid slightly during oven infusion
Add lecithin for better binding
Perfect for 1–2 serving test batches
Shake jar every 30 minutes
Store finished jar in fridge up to 2 months

5 Mistakes to Avoid

  • ✕ Over-tightening the lid during heating
  • ✕ Using a regular-mouth jar
  • ✕ Skipping decarboxylation
  • ✕ Letting water get inside the jar
  • ✕ Forgetting to label the final jar
One jar. Zero mess. Perfect infusions every time.
