How to make majoun (Moroccan hash jam)

Today, majoun has evolved into a beloved recipe for modern cannabis enthusiasts who want to experience a taste of history, one that's both delicious and powerfully uplifting. This simplified version keeps the authentic flavours and energising effects of the traditional recipe, while making it easy to prepare at home with just a few ingredients.

For an extra-smooth twist, you can also use honey hash or hash-infused honey in place of regular hash as a nod to the traditional Moroccan practice that inspired this timeless cannabis delicacy.

Step-by-step: Make your own Moroccan hash jam

Ready to get started and make your own slice of Moroccan magic? Follow these simple steps to transform your ingredients into rich, euphoric majoun.

1. Prepare your base

Grind your cannabis or hash as finely as possible. If you're working with solid hash, warm it gently between your fingers or over mild heat to soften it. This will help it blend evenly later on.

2. Infuse the butter or ghee

Melt the butter or ghee in a saucepan over low heat. Add your ground cannabis or hash and stir continuously for 10–15 minutes until the mixture is smooth, aromatic, and slightly golden. This is where the potency magic happens, so take your time and, most importantly, don't let it burn.

3. Mix in honey and fruits

Add the honey, chopped fruits, nuts, and spices. Stir gently on low heat until everything is well combined and forms a thick, sticky, glossy mixture. The scent at this stage should be heavenly: sweet, nutty, and spiced.

4. Shape or store

Once the mixture cools slightly, shape it into small bite-sized balls or spoon it into jars. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, coconut, or cacao powder for a decorative touch.

5. Serve

Enjoy majoun in small portions, as this treat is potent! The effects may take 1–2 hours to appear, so start slow, savour the flavour, and let the experience unfold.

How to store

Keep your majoun fresh and flavourful by storing it in airtight jars at room temperature or in the refrigerator. It will stay good for several weeks and just like a fine Moroccan sweet, the flavours deepen beautifully over time.
