Jack Haze is 7ACRES first proprietary cultivar and is a true sativa. A savoury cultivar with bright, terpinolene-dominant aromas, balanced with a signature spice reminiscent of the Jack Herer strain. The cultivar has a truly unique aroma of pine and sweet citrus with crisp, lively spice notes.
We asked the top cannabis chefs in Canada to provide their best recommendations for infused recipes and meal pairings for each of our cultivars. For Jack Haze, they recommended delicious preparations for cinnamon buns and cheesecake.
Our first recipe was prepared by Cody Lindsay, also known as The Wellness Soldier, who is Canada’s leading cannabis cooking educator with a focus on helping veterans. He is a chef of 20 years that has been featured on Bong Appetit, Leafly, Lift&Co., CLN, CBC, CTV and more. Cody learned to be a cook while serving in the Canadian military.
The Wellness Soldier recommends pairing or infusing 7ACRES’ sativa-dominant Jack Haze with his signature cinnamon buns with cream cheese icing.
“The sweet citrus and hint of pine notes lend well to my signature Cinnamon Buns recipe. Those uplifting citrus and pine notes add a wonderful taste and smell when combined with cinnamon!”

Recipe #2: Cannabis Infused Cheesecake with Graham Cracker Streusel
Mini Cheesecakes (makes 8)
Ingredients
-
-
- 500g Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
- 100g Organic Cane Sugar
- 2g Kosher Salt
- 3 Whole Eggs (140g)
- 5g Vanilla Extract
- 65g Buttermilk
- 65g Cannabis Infused Cream (passive decarboxylation method to preserve terpenes)
-
Equipment
-
-
- 8x 125ml Mason jars
- Stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment
- Fine Mesh Strainer or cheesecloth
- Small pot
- Small whisk
- Spatula
- Canning Tongs
- Cannabis grinder or sharp knife
- Deli container or pitcher to pour from neatly
-
Step-By-Step Instructions
-
-
- For the cheesecake, heat the water bath with an immersion circulator to 80C.
- Put the cream cheese, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip well to combine. Stop and scrape the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is fully combined and smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stop and scrape the bowl again to ensure there are no lumps.
- Add vanilla extract, buttermilk, and cannabis infused cream. Mix well to combine, scraping sides of the bowl often to ensure all ingredients incorporated with no lumps.
- Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer and cast into jars as directed. Wipe rims clean, and place lids on ‘fingertip tight’. The goal here is tight enough that no water gets in, but not so tight that no air can escape. Pressure can build up and burst the jars if the lids are too tight! (No need to stress if this happens, continue the cooking process, the rest of the cheesecakes will be fine if a single jar bursts. This is extremely rare if directions are followed correctly). Label each jar lid with your name!
- Cook for 60 minutes in the 80C water bath. Remove jars and let stand at room temperature for 10-20 minutes to cool down naturally.
- Label well with the date and THC content. Refrigerate for minimum 2-3 hours before serving. Will last 7-10 days in the refrigerator.
