Saskatoon pemmican
3 cups
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | cup | Jerky; beef or venison |
| 1 | cup | Dried Saskatoon berries or dried blueberries |
| 1 | cup | Unroasted sunflower seeds or crushed nuts of any kind |
| 2 | teaspoons | Honey |
| ¼ | cup | Peanut butter |
| ½ | teaspoon | Cayenne [optional] |
Directions
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.
