How long will pemmican last? At room temperature, pemmican can generally last from one to five years, but there are anecdotal stories of pemmican stored in cool cellars being safely consumed after a decade or more. There are many reports of individuals living solely off of pemmican for years! Pemmican can be store bought for $20 a pound! Screw that. Try this recipe and eat even after a blackout. For starters, pemmican is originally a Cree word for rendered fat. Pemmican is a food used by a variety of Native peoples for many generations, and was adopted by the fur traders in the 18th and 19th centuries. It likely originates from North America. Native American scouts who spent a great deal of time on the go depended on having portable, high-energy, highly nutritious, and filling foods that would last for long periods of time. Often times pemmican was their food of choice. This amazing stuff is a dried mixture of meat, berries and rendered fat (also called suet or tallow). It is an invaluable survival food that when prepared properly using good pemmican recipes can last anywhere from several months to several years without refrigeration! Recipe # 1 Ingredients: 4 cups lean meat (deer, beef, caribou or moose) 3 cups dried fruit 2 cups rendered fat (Rendering is the process of purifying fat from other animal bits. Any blood, connective tissue, water or meat is separated from the fat – leaving you with pure fat.) Unsalted nuts and about 1 shot of honey Instructions: Meat should be as lean as possible and double ground from your butcher if you do not have you own meat grinder. Spread it out very thin on a cookie sheet and dry at 180 degrees F for at least 8 hours or until sinewy and crispy. Pound the meat into a nearly powder consistency using a blender or other tool. Grind the dried fruit, but leave a little bit lumpy for fun texture. Heat rendered fat on stove at medium until liquid. Add liquid fat to dried meat and dried fruit, and mix in nuts and honey. Mix everything by hand. Let cool and store. Can keep and be consumed for several years. Recipe # 2 Ingredients: 2 lbs dried beef (see recipe 1 for drying instructions) 1.5 cup raisins Beef suet Instructions: Grind meat to fine pulp in a blender. Now add in the raisins. Chop this mix enough to break up the raisins and mix in well. Melt the suet to a liquid and pour into the mixture, using just enough to hold the meat and raisins together. Now allow this to cool slightly. Put this into a pan and let it cool completely. Next, cut the pemmican into strips, than divide it into bars of about 4” long by 1” wide. Bag these separately and you can store them for several months. Recipe # 3 Ingredients: Dried lean beef, buffalo, or venison (see recipe 1 for drying instructions) Beef suet Seedless dried fruit Instructions: Melt the suet until it becomes golden brown and liquid. Strain out any solids. If you cool it, re-melt it and strain it again it will improve the shelf life of the pemmican. Grind the meat into a powder. Chop or grind dried fruit and add it to meat. Pour liquid suet onto meat/fruit mixture. Mixes best if suet is warm, and allows you to use less of it. Now, press the pemmican into a tin using a spoon. Let cool in the fridge, than turn it out and cut into bars the size of candy bars. Wrap each bar in wax paper or paper lunch bag, label and store. Recipe # 4 Ingredients: 2 cups dates 3 cups powdered jerky (or powdered tofu-jerky) 2 cups raisins Honey (as a binding agent, add as much as needed) 2 cups nuts Instructions: Grind all this material together, except for the honey. Add in the honey a little bit at a time, and mix well each time. Pour into pan until about three quarters of an inch thick or make them directly into bars. Refrigerate and cut bars out of pan. This is a sweet concoction and in cold climates, honey can be replaced with suet and processed just as in pemmican recipes seen above. Tips for making good pemmican Here are some tips for you to improve your ability to use pemmican recipes properly, and make good pemmican: Talk to your local butcher to acquire the suet. A local co-op butcher might have the healthiest choices in terms of organic meats. You may be able to acquire the suet for free in certain places. When rendering (melting) the suet, be careful not to burn it or make it smoke. The warmer the climate you are going to be using the pemmican in, the less fat you need in it. This is also true for the time of year. Use less fat for the summer time, more for winter. Label what you make, especially if you try different recipes. Lastly, remember to experiment with your own recipes. The key points for making pemmican are to make sure that you render the fat (suet) properly and to make sure that the meat and fruit you put into the recipe are very dry, not cooked or partially dry.
