EDIBLE MOUNTAIN — How To Make Pemmican

Begin by preparing the dried beef and tallow for pemmican.

Soak the dried beef in water to soften it slightly.

Grind the dried beef until it is as fine as possible, allowing for some larger bits.

Grind the dried blueberries separately.

Mix the ground blueberries with the ground meat.

Melt the tallow until it is warm but not hot enough to burn your finger.

Add the melted tallow to the meat and blueberry mixture a little bit at a time, stirring to combine.

Continue adding tallow until the mixture sticks together and becomes stiffer as it cools.

Form the mixture into small patties or balls.

Place the formed pemmican in a jar and store it in the refrigerator.
