DRIED PEMMICAN WITH JUNIPER AND CURRANT BERRIES



Dried Pemmican With Juniper and Currant Berries image

This is an old recipe.It requires beef suet. I do not use. There might be a danger of mold. I have updated this recipe which can be used as a dried flavoring for sauces and soups or eaten dry.

Time 6h30m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs elk steaks or 2 lbs buffalo loin steaks
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce or 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 crushed red pepper flakes, if desired
1 teaspoon salt
10 dried juniper berries, crushed
10 dried currant berries, crushed
20 dried raisins, crushed
5 wild onions, bulbs, crushed or 2 tablespoons minced dried onion

Steps:

  • For dried Jerky: Lay meat out on baking trays. Heat the ingredients slowly for jerky.
  • You may substitute splenda for sugar and salt substitute for regular salt.
  • Brush on each slice of meat. Let set for 1/2 hour.
  • Bake 200* oven. Check after 2 hours, turn meat, baste with remaining flavoring. Bake until slightly dry. It will bend a little.
  • Place in air tight bags or cans to store.
  • For pemmican, crush with mortar and pestle: berries, raisins, onions.
  • Mix with salt.
  • Toss meat with crushed mixture. Shake off excess in bag. Lay on trays.
  • Bake 200* oven. Bake until dry. You may lay outside in the air and sun if you have a protected place from bugs and animals.
  • When totally dry, crush the dried meat. Put in small air tight bags, or double bag for the freezer. Use a survival food for camping, as a flavoring for soups or gravies, or sprinkle on noodles or rice.

PEMMICAN



Pemmican image

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.

Time 15m

Yield 32 ounces, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 lbs boneless eye of round beef steak (about 20 oz. dried until brittle)
1 cup dried cherries
6 tablespoons fat (tallow)

Steps:

  • Place the meat and the cherries into your food processor.
  • Process until they are ground up.
  • Add tallow until mixture is saturated.
  • Place in container and enjoy.
  • 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.
