Step 1

Cut fat off of the meat: You should only dry the meat, not any fat on it!

Step 2

Salt the meat: This will help inhibit bacteria growth and make the pemmican taste better.

Step 3

Dry the meat: Instructions follow.

Step 4

Turn the dry meat into a powder: A meat grinder is best, but you can also use a blender or food processor. It needs to be almost a powder with no big chunks in it.

Step 5

Turn the berries into a powder: Same as with the meat.

Step 6

Mix the powdered meat and powdered berries together.

Step 7

Heat the fat so it liquefies.

Step 8

Pour the fat over the powdered meat/berry mixture. The ratio of fat to dried mixture is about 1:6, but you can experiment.

Step 9

Let cool and form into balls or bars.

Step 10

Wrap in wax paper or plastic bags and store!
