Pemmican

"A great way to eat against the grain/paleo. If you are a purist, avoid the food processor and just grind the stuff between a couple of rocks. This recipe is based on one from Ray Audette, author of "Neanderthin: A Caveman's Guide to Nutrition". Don't be afraid to mess with the quantities, these are just my estimates. Pemmican will last forever if it is kept dry. Also, cooking time does not include drying time for meat."

  • Place the meat and the cherries into your food processor.

  • Add tallow until mixture is saturated.

  • Note: Meat must be dried until there is NO moisture or spoilage could result.
  • Note: You can get tallow by broiling cheap hamburger on your broiler pan and saving the drippings.
  • Note: Watch for condensation if you use an airtight container. It is better to use a loose lid container and just leave the pemmican sit out until it is gone.
