1 cup finely ground jerky
1 cup raisins or other dried fruit
1 cup chopped roasted nuts
1/3 teaspoon chile powder
2 tbs honey
4 tbs peanuts
3 cups butter
Mix all ingredients thoroughly and press into a shallow pan. Cover with wax paper and refrigerate overnight. Cut into bars and wrap in foil. Pemmican keeps well for a long time except in hot weather. This food was used by American Indians for hundreds of years. It has been slightly modernized.
2 lb dried beef
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup yellow raisins
beef suet
Using a blender, mince meat to a fine pulp. Stir in raisins. Chop just enough to break up raisins. Turn into bowl and mix well. Pour melted suet over the top, using just enough to hold beef and raisins together. Allow to cool slightly. Put into a jelly roll pan and allow to cool completely. Then cut into strips and finally into bars about 1 inch wide by 4 inches long. Store in plastic baggies. (will last for several months)
