Staying in?
If you’ve taken up baking during the pandemic, a San Diego chef, dispensary and dessert shop have a few ideas for you to try while stuck in quarantine.
1. Sweet Potato Pie filling
Chef DuVal Warner, who heads the kitchen of Ranch 45 in Solana Beach, has shared his mother’s recipe for Sweet Potato Pie — which features an unlikely ingredient: tomato soup.
Ingredients:
- Two large sweet potatoes
- One can of Campbell’s tomato soup
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- Two large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- One tablespoon flour
- One teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- To make the filling, place sweet potatoes in a large pot and fill with water just until it covers them.
- Bring to a boil and boil for 45 to 50 minutes or until they are soft to touch with a fork.
- When done, let cool and then remove the skin. It should peel off very easily.
- Place peeled sweet potatoes in a bowl and break it up with a fork or whisk.
- Use a mixer to mix the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy.
- Add one can of tomato soup to your smooth and creamy sweet potato mixer.
- Add in butter and mix to combine.
- Add in sugars, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla and flour. Beat until mixture is smooth.
- Pour into two prepared pie crusts and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool on the counter for about 30 minutes and then chill in the refrigerator overnight to fully set or at least three hours.

2. Cannabutter
San Diego dispensary March and Ash invites curious folks to try their hands at cannabutter this holiday. Once you make a batch, simply add it to a filling of your choosing — turning any pie into a trip.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 245°F.
- Place 10 grams of flower on a parchment-lined oven tray.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- Rake the flower after 15 minutes to ensure even heating.
- Coarsely grind baked bud into a slow cooker set to low (under 200°F).
- Add one cup of unsalted butter, stirring the mixture every 15 minutes.
- Cook for three hours on low.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes, and strain into jay or container using cheesecloth and funnel.
- Refrigerate until ready to use in your chosen recipe.
*Note: The exact potency of DIY cannabutter varies. Test the final product by spreading 1/4 teaspoon on some toast, then wait two to three hours to see how that batch affects you. Use that as a dosage barometer, and increase or decrease the amount used in each recipe as desired.
