Recipe from Sydney Betts

RECIPE for Pemmican

INGREDIENTS———–

* Raw red meat, sliced and dried as you would for jerky (must break not bend)

* Beef or buffalo fat (ratio of 40% fat to 60% meat correctly, so be sure you get the right stuff

* Dried cherries or cranberries to taste use at least 1 tsp. of salt per pound of meat in order to prevent bacteria growth.

-chop dried meat in a food processor until granular texture. Add salt and fruit

-cut fat into small chunks and heat on low—don’t burn (smoke). Drain any chunks in cheesecloth or a sieve and cool

-just saturate meat with fat until it’s the consistency of fudge. Roll out  and cut into strips or bite-size pieces. It should be firm and still a bit greasy to the touch. Wrap in something non-porous If made properly, it keeps at room temperature for years

Book Information

In the spring of 1817, Alcy Callen and her father visit a step-uncle they have long presumed dead; but instead of enjoying a loving reunion, they are plunged into treachery and deceit. Nothing is as they expected and little is what it seems. Even the man who helps her escape is not the reliable suitor he appears.

Alcy is caught between gratitude and fear, unable to avoid her rescuer’s attentions or understand the responses they stir. Neither can she tell what sort of man he is or what he intends to do with her in the strange place they are going. Will he keep her for himself or will he sell her to the highest
bidder?

Of one person only is she certain, but will he come for her before it is too late?
