Peanut Butter pemmican

Here's a Fun Recipe From our friends at Backwoods Home Magazine.

“Peanut butter” pemmican

If you can’t quite bring yourself to eat the real thing yet, try this substitute:
1 part jerky
1 part peanuts or pecans, unroasted
1 part raisins
1 part any seedless dried fruit(s) not preserved with sulfites—apples, peaches,
blueberries, etc.
Peanut butter and honey, in a two-to-one ratio
Cayenne pepper, to taste (optional, but contrasts nicely with the sweet fruits and
honey.)
Powder the jerky in a blender. Add fruit and
nuts. Microwave honey and peanut butter to
soften them, then blend them into the mixture.
(Use less than you think you’ll need, just enough
to bind everything together. If you get it wrong,
it’s easier to add more peanut butter and honey
than to add more of everything else.) Add
cayenne pepper, mix well. Store in Plastic bags.


**Real Pemmican is Mixture of Fruit, Meat and Tallow (made from Suet). It has a tendancy
to go Rancid.
