We use bear fat and a bit of salt or mix in fruit to make ours. I am First Nations, we also boil the meat and dry beside open fire. The meat is more tender when boiled and will grind to a finer powder. The bear fat is our medicine, the plains also have natural salts which was used in the process.

Salt is like sugar. It's only a preservative when there's ALOT of it in the recipe. Seasoning it with salt isn't the same as curing it with salt. In fact, the fat in this recipe is used in the same way. If you don't add enough, the food spoils.

I have been making and enjoying pemmican for almost 30 years and this video is the closest to the truly traditional way of making it, that I have seen in a very long list of videos. The only difference is the inclusion of dried berries that a lot of the northern tribes & Inuit used. dried Blueberries are esp good IMO. It adds a lot of nutrition and much need "Balance" to this travel/survival food. The extremely dense high fat, high protein content makes it unsuitable as a full time meal replacement, and it is really easy to get tired of it quickly. (By quickly I mean single meal source for a 150 mile trek.) That being said, it is an excellent way to have high energy, high nutrition food on hand for any issues or just enjoyment. The "primitive" long term storage, was done by completely sealing portions in another layer of tallow and then that was sealed into a container (My experience has been thin hide pouches) which are then also sealed & placed in containers or jars, and buried, or placed in a cave away from the environment and critters. Fun fact: Archeologists uncovered stashes of pemmican dated to 150 years in the past that were still edible. So if stored away from air & moisture this does make a near perfect survival food. That soup recipe is going right into my pack as it is an easy on-trail meal to make, and would go a long way to adding much needed variety. Thanks for the video!

@christopherfisher128
@christopherfisher128 2 года назад
@@AndrewWilson1991 I don't think so. The fat is there for a couple of reasons. 1 is the calories & nutrition it provides as fat is the single greatest source of high calorie survival food. 2 the preservative qualities from RENDERED fat is because it melts in to the meat & seals out moisture & air. Non-rendered fats WILL go rancid so people need to make sure to keep that in mind.

I learnded abaut preservation of food for some jears, everey region has its own techniches because of teir ressources. Most did it to come over the winter or some hard time. So the shelf store was abaout one jear. Not more. Exept the asian fermentation. Whatever, your video is a great inspiration. Thanks from Germany.

We know it was used like this but I have always thought that the more common use would be in conjunction with whatever vegetables and herbscould be found on the trail.

I just did pemmican...5 pounds of meat, soaked in a 3% brine solution (2 tbls sea salt to 1 qt water), dried down to about 1.5 pounds, then ground, added about 2 ounces of powdered blueberries, then the tallow. It turned out great. Got 8 sealed (Food Saver) packs, 2 bars each, about 5 ounces each package.

Here in Ontario Canada, from what I gather pemmican was tallow, meat and blueberries, wild strawberries, blackberries, raspberries depending on the season. Salt would certainly be a welcome addition. The pemmican was stored in birchbark containers sewn together with spruce roots and sealed with spruce pitch mixed with bear fat. I always thought it was more of a tripping type of food then a staple dish. I could be wrong though. It is really good for it's nutrient density for sure!

It was the summer before I started high school that I worked at REI in Seattle. They sold “Pemmican “ in a can the size of a can of Vienna sausages. It was really really good and I had one every day for lunch and that would carry me until dinner, 6 hours later. I would love to have the recipe for that pemmican. It had berries meat and nuts ( I think). It was a perfect meal all by itself.

@peterm.eggers520
@peterm.eggers520 3 года назад
Powdering the meat is not necessary nor desirable. Not only does it increase processing time, but it significantly increases oxidation of the nutrients of the meat. Some version of a sausage grind is more than adequate. The rendered fat (all moisture removed) is what preserves the desiccated meat and adds fat soluble nutrients. Bacon drippings are a great addition. Do not filter the fat after you have rendered it. Native American pemmican is not bland, blandness is due to the modernization of the process. Also, putting blocks around the meat defeats the purpose of drying the meat quickly. Warm (not hot -- destroys nutrients), dry, airflow is the key.

@peterm.eggers520
@peterm.eggers520 3 года назад
@@mad__dogger Don't have a video. It is on my todo list for this fall. It boils down to drying, desiccating the meat with little heat but good airflow. Some smoldering coals well underneath adds flavor and airflow. Gently rendering the fat separates the water from the fat, especially after cooling into pure fat and meat broth. Combine the 2, allowing the ground desiccated meat to become completely saturated with the rendered fat to soften it and protect it from oxygen and moisture. Keep it simple. Remove all moisture. Do not cook the meat. Combine approximately 50/50 until your preferred consistency, and allow to cool. Best done in the fall when animals have fattened up for the winter and frost has removed most of the annoying flies.

You don't need a vacuum sealer. Just shape the pemmican to fit into a wide mouth canning jar. Put it in the canning jar and screw the lid on. Sure, there will be a little bit of air in there, but you will have an air-tight seal that won't let fresh oxygen in to speed the decay. Use the smaller jars so you naturally have "serving sizes" built into the jar. As long as you keep them in cool and dark place, you will get the long life out of them.

I'm making pemmican for the first time as I'm writing this comment. I got suet at a local slaughter house, rendered 6 pounds and got 6 cups liquid. I formed it in 9X9 roasting pans. I got the eye round at a local deli where I had the guy slice it as thin as lunch meat figuring it will dry evenly and faster being so thin. We'll see how that goes. I'm debating a couple of things in my head though. Should I add dry fruit that I've heard adds great flavor if it shortens shelf life? Should I add salt and does that effect shelf life although I'd think it wouldn't? Maybe I'll try 2 or 3 small batch recipes to experiment for flavor.

Hi sir! I have a question regarding the process! So essentially, during the drying process, you're dryng it out to get rid of the moisture. After pounding the meat paper thin, would one be able to put a light coating of salt on each piece, then set out to dry in the sun? I thought that the salt may help draw out moisture (kind of like the curing process) and also provide a little flavor to the final product once mixed with tallow. Would this be ok to do or would that have a negative effect on this recipe?

I use a smoker made from a metal trash can. It works great. Gives it a nice flavor, too. I marinate the meat first (soy, Worcestershire, and maple syrup) so I don’t need to add salt or seasoning later. I don’t cut the meat nearly as thin as shown here, but a smoker dries the meat pretty fast. Maybe 8 hours. I use a blender to grind the meat to a powder. A mortar and pestle is a little too old school for me. I add ground almonds and cranberries. Beef tallow works better than lard. Ask a butcher for beef fat. It’s very cheap. It’s easy to render into tallow. And if you find you don’t like it then birds and raccoons go nuts over this stuff.
