Saskatoon Pemmican Recipe ------------------------- 1 c Jerky; beef or venison 1 c Dried Saskatoon berries or dried blueberries 1 c Unroasted sunflower seeds or crushed nuts of any kind 2 ts Honey 1/4 c Peanut butter 1/2 ts 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 -JW] 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.
