Recipe, Real Pemmican: THE Original, WORLD WIDE "Trail-Mix" or Emergency Food

Pemmican was the original, WORLD WIDE "Trail-Mix" or emergency food; it was not invented in the United States, by indigenous North American peoples, or even in the Americas.

Pemmican is best made in August.

1. First dry the meat, as I have described in The Story of Pemmican post.

2. Cook meat in boiling water for about 10 minutes. Pound well with hammer and mix with marrow or grease.

3. Add berries or diced onions if you like.

4. Put pemmican into those ever useful freezer bags.

5. Freeze; cut in slices.

A MODERN Recipe, for the WEEKEND, ADVENTURE/REALITY GAME type survivor:
Makes 6 cups.
3 Tbsps. salted butter???
3 Tbsps. brown sugar???
!/4 tsp. powdered ginger???
1/4 tsp. ground cloves???
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon ???
4 cups beef jerky, ground into small pieces
1/2 cup cut almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts (definitely optional)
!/2 cup sunflower seeds??? (again, definitely optional)

For other recipes treat moose, caribou, elk, bear, sheep, or goat meat as if it were beef, but please remember – Because of the usual low fat content, by preference, game meat is seldom ever broiled or roasted. Bear meat should be cooked thoroughly as for pork.
