Pemmican
Ingredients
- 1 c jerky, beef or venison
- 1 c dried Saskatoon berries or dried blueberries
- 1 c unroasted sunflower seeds or crushed nuts of any kind
- 2 ts honey
- 1/4 c peanut butter
- 1/2 ts cayenne (optional)
Instructions
Yield: 3 cups. This version uses peanut butter rather than melted suet or lard as the binding agent, which is more palatable for today's health conscious diets. Grind (or pound) the dried meat to a mealy powder. Add the dried berries and seeds or nuts. Heat the honey, peanut butter and cayenne until softened. Blend. When cooled, store in a plastic bag or sausage casing in a cool dry place. It will keep for months.
