Pemmican

[Handgun400]

Does anyone make pemmican? It’s been on my mind lately.

I've been meaning to, but haven't gotten there yet. It would be good to hear about some first hand experience . Some pointers or do's&don't might motivate me a bit, lol.

It’s not hard to do it’s just hot an messy

 

[bodeen]

[Curt]

One of those things that surprised me some folks don't know. If you run a thousand buffalo off a cliff it can be preserved for eating the rest of the year.

It tastes better then the biltong they have in Africa too.

Pack your pemmican and you’ll survive the day! Anybody else remember that?

Seems a bit familiar but I can’t put my finger on it.

My old timer friend makes this stuff. He uses blueberries. Don't much taste the blueberries, but one gets the 11K antioxidants still. It was kinda neutral tasting as I recall.

It tastes like mud, but will keep you alive and has no shelf life expiration date

If I lived on the plains and the best my woman could do with buffalo I killed tasted like mud. I'd be looking for a new teepee. Hopefully, more can be done with it.

Same here

Guy I knew made some years ago (50?). I thought it was alright. It was moose meat and I know it wasn't ground up as fine He used rendered pork fat, and it had dried chokecherries in it. Don't know what else. I'll see if I can track him down when I'm back in Canada this fall.

Sounds like a good way to mess up some jerky meat. mtmuley

Is there some way we can get together and harvest a thousand Buffalo these days to test some Hammers in the name of science.
Also interested as I've made a little salami , fresh sausage and stuff. But if it tastes like mud I'm not sure I need to preserve a years worth.

 

[Handgun400]

Surely there can be black pepper or something to add and help.

So, how doesn't pemican go bad?
