Saskatoon pemmican

Yield: 3 cups

Measure 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]

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.
