Quantities are estimated based on standard recipes for your convenience. The actual ingredients used in this video are accurate.

1

Begin by drying the meat thoroughly. You can use a dehydrator or an oven set to a low temperature until the meat is completely dry and brittle.

2

Once the meat is dried, grind it into a fine powder using a food processor or mortar and pestle.

3

In a separate bowl, combine the ground meat with the dried berries and salt. If using honey, add it to the mixture as well.

4

Melt the rendered fat in a saucepan over low heat until it is completely liquid.

5

Pour the melted fat into the meat and berry mixture, stirring well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

6

Once everything is mixed, pour the mixture into a mold or a baking dish lined with parchment paper.

7

Press the mixture down firmly to compact it, ensuring there are no air pockets.

8

Allow the pemmican to cool and solidify at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a few hours.

9

Once set, cut the pemmican into bars or squares for easy storage and consumption.

10

Store the pemmican in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
