To those complaining about how dry and bland it is: That's because it's not supposed to be eaten like a nutrient bar, like this guy did. (Not saying it's wrong to do that, you do you...Just that that's not how it was used by the people who invented it.) It was basically the Native American version of trail rations and, like trail rations, it was meant to be combined with whatever local ingredients you could forage wherever you stopped to eat, to make a proper meal of. In the case of pemmican, it would typically be thrown into a pot of boiling water, with or without some local vegetation for texture and/or flavor, and cooked into a kind of soup. Edit: 'kay, since it keeps getting said "Oh, so it's like boullion?" I'mma' add in here...Sort of, but it's really more like an MRE, or an instant soup mix.

I don't know about native diet. But in general the most important factor in health is attitude towards food. The healthiest people are the ones for which food is prepared with great care and eaten as though sacred. That kind of respect for diet generally results in a healthy population on many levels.

My grandfather made "pemmican" primarily from deer meat, raisins,dried blueberry,pecans, walnuts, and sunflower seed. Dont recall beef tallow but possibly could have. All of which were gathered vs buying at a store. Probably some other ingredients that I have forgotten since he passed over 50 years ago. I just wished I would have been more interested in how it was made and had the recipie. He would always have a big hunk of it when we spent the day in the woods hunting or on a fishing trip. It was rarely brought out and eaten until all other foods were consumed. It was more of a reserve food if you ran out of everything else and were hungry or needed a pick me up. I had completely forgot about it until I saw your video. Thanks

True, the way he did it, but this could be replicated with a campfire for all the smoking, the summer sun for drying the fruit, and a mortal and pestle for grinding, and a bowl for the mixing and heating of the fat. My understanding is that the plains indians didn't render the fat, and didn't necessarily grind the fruit, but kneaded the fruit and meat into the fat on a warm day. Not sure how true this is, but it really is a fairly simple process.

Interesting video, many years ago I was part of a volunteer Archeological survey being done on the North Saskatchewan river. One of our volunteers came across an old cache some old fur trader had left buried in the river bank. We dug it out and the archeologist supervising the project said it had been left there about 140 years ago! It had gun powder, shot, knives, hatchets, a couple of traps, some vermillion, flints a tinder box and of course Pemican. Amazingly all were in remarkably good condition and mostly still useable, even the pemican apparently. Everything had been wrapped in animal hide and packed inside a buffalo robe and then in a wooden barrel. One of the guys even tried the pemican...said it tasted ok, I took his word for it.

I remember as a boy scout on a long canoeing trip my scout leader brought pemmican. First time and only time I’ve had it but I was always curious what it was made of. His had some nuts in it and raisins. Very energizing after long 1 mile portages in muddy conditions. I still love the outdoors and doing tough trips though this will definitely come in handy. Thank you for your knowledge.

@johnathancorgan3994 4 года назад

Oh, you made a video on pemmican, a subject near and dear to my heart. I've been making it for years, and it's nice to see someone with actual professional skills and equipment doing it. Some notes: The traditional method used by Native Americans rarely used fruit; they'd slaughter a buffalo, convert as much of the meat and fat to pemmican as they could, then save it in pouches made from the hide. The fruit was added to the recipe later when trading with European fur traders as they were unaccustomed to the lack of flavor. Also, as you noted briefly, you used hard fat. This is almost essential for shelf stability, as it has the highest amount of saturated fat that resists oxidation and rancidity. I've had the best success with suet or kidney fat, and that's hard to come by for me. Also, the fruit content must be completely dry and powdered for this to work, otherwise residual water will cause spoilage (as you also noted.) From a nutritional perspective, pemmican makes an excellent part of a ketogenic diet, if made with this in mind. The typical recipe is 50/50 percent by weight of tallow and meat powder (no fruit). This results in a product that has about 70% of its caloric value from fat, 30% from protein, and 0% from carbohydrates. This does result in a greasier, oilier (when eaten) product than some people like, but I've personally found that like any pemmican it is an acquired taste. Finally, I've never tried it, but I *love* the idea of smoking the meat while drying it! The challenge with pemmican is that you don't really want to cook the meat, you just want to make it devoid of any moisture. The lack of moisture and access to oxygen, as well as the added salt, prevents any sort of bacterial growth, so I'm happy to set the dehydrator at 105F and not worry about trying to get the meat up to more typical cooking temperature. Sorry for the wall of text, but I love this stuff. It's way too labor intensive, and I wish it were commercially sold the proper way, but the FDA will not allow commercial producers to sell what they would consider raw meat if done properly. Thanks again for video!

@2guysandacooler 4 года назад

Excellent points Johnathan. The fat I ended up using was the kidney fat and it wreaked havoc on my grinder small plates. It was too hard. Had to go wide open just to get it through😁. You are right about acquired taste. I personally liked the high fat content. Nice coating on the inside of the mouth. Next time I make it I'll do only beef and fat. It's such a neat food to make...

@wolfchacer0139 4 года назад

Great post, however the FDA would lying and fully incorrect if they were to say this is raw in way shape or form. While the human body has a hard time with raw meat, pemmican is technically cooked as the removing of the moisture is a method cooking (rare meat is bad for the digestive system). Authentic Pemmican was made using a fire with the meat hung high above it so as to dehydrate the meat not sear it (As I said it's actually a method of cooking so realistically it's not raw). I love these types of videos and learn so much forgotten things from you as well as others, always a nice time learning old new things ;)

@charitysheppard4549 3 года назад

Just a quick cooking hint: I learned this from Asian cooks, and the end result is a little bit cleaner. When rendering their fats, they will do a quick 30-45 sec pre-boil. This coagulates the inter-vascular blood into a foam. That way, you clarify out the blood, which would be too small to catch in your final stages. Pull the fat out, give it a quick drain and rinse, then carry on rendering. I LOVE your slow cooker idea!

@87Sakiel 3 года назад

@broutefoin 3 года назад

@@87Sakiel bring a pot of water to a boil, dumb all your fat chunks into the water for 30-45 sec, dump the whole bot into a strainer, rince of the fat chunks in with cold water till the water coming through the strainer is clear, then dump your fat chunks into the crockpot to render as normal.

@charitysheppard4549 3 года назад

@@87Sakiel it's actually very easy. Asian cooks, Chinese in particular, will blanch meats and fats before cooking. It removes the coagulated blood, and many believe any "gamey" flavors prior to the real cooking, leaving you with a cleaner, and better tasting, dish. To blanch the fats, just cut it into cubes as detailed in the video, bring about 6 quarts of water per 1 lb of fat, to a full boil. Then, carefully drop in the fats to quickly cook for 30-45 seconds then drain. Rinse with cold water then render as usual. The left over greaves will have a cleaner pork flavor. If you are cooking a dish with meats, you always blanch the meat with ginger, green onions and Chinese cooking wine (you can use dry sherry in a bind). The meat goes into cold water with the ginger, onion and wine. Bring to boil and cook 5 minutes or so. Drain the meat and then rinse off all the scum with cold water. Drain, then make your dish. It is an extra little step but it really does make a difference in the final taste.

@derrickfoster644 3 года назад

While I am sure pre-boiling will work any time I have rendered any fat I generally let it solidify twice. First time in a relatively tall receptical then turning out the fat and removing the non fat leftovers before remelting the fat into the final container or mold. Just what works for me.

@broutefoin 3 года назад

@@derrickfoster644 yeah, that will get you better results overall (can even repeat the process once or twice), let the fat cool, discard the water and scrape the gunk off, repeat. It's how you can get your tallow to be whiter in general if your using it for care products too.

@Follower_of_The_Word 2 года назад

I began making pemmican 43 years ago using a different recipe and it was amazingly good! I used homemade venison jerky and some dried berries. I cut the jerky into small pieces but did not pulverize it. Same for the fruit, leave it whole. Pour rendered tallow over the mixture and form in a cookie sheet in a thin layer.

But you're recount reminded me of just how much better homemade jams, jellies or preserves are. Summers were about harvesting wild foods as well the garden. Wild choke cherries, rose hips(late summer or fall) blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. nothing like it. Wild berries are night and day superior to domesticated berries.

@JoshuaSims1981 3 года назад

Chili flakes would probably work. I'd probably add a little chili oil directly to the tallow and let it go into solution during the melting phase if you wanted that flavor, but that's just me. I'm going to throw a bunch of food science at you, so if you're not interested, now would be the time to tune me out. There's actually a reason why all these are the ingredients that are listed. Horseradish won't keep once ground like that and dried. The isothiocyanates (the compounds that give horseradish its flavor) are highly unstable. They won't last long at all. Ditto garlic. Allicin (compound that causes the pungency of garlic) is similarly unstable and breaks down quickly. Soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce have too much water. The whole idea of pemmican is that it has an extremely low water activity and held stably so low by the tallow. The real reason you're using hard tallow like that is because it's a saturated fat, rather than unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats will go auto-oxidize (go rancid), but saturated fats don't. If you look at the structure of an unsaturated fat, it has double bonds between some of the carbons, which allows oxygen to infiltrate. It'll start forming aldehydes and smell like rot. Bad eats. What you COULD add to this, particularly if you're looking for flavor, would be rosemary. Rosavins and Salidrosides (actives in the rosemary) aren't super stable, but have an added benefit of being antioxidants and will help further preserve the product. Salt wasn't added in the original recipes simply because it wasn't readily available. It's a great add, though. Also helps keep any spoilage down too.

@@Rogue_Squatcher It takes a couple of weeks usually for most people to adapt. If you can hang in there and endure the discomfort (and even slight nausea in some cases), it passes. In my experience, after my system got accustomed to the carnivore diet, I noticed my eyesight improve very quickly, and muscle tone and energy increased very noticeably at about the 4th week. The only thing to be wary of is after being on this sort of diet, food sensitivity is ridiculous. I can't eat many of the things I used to love, like ice cream and cheesecake, or anything processed or most carbohydrates. Even a bite or two of something as seemingly harmless as a ham sandwich or biscuits and gravy make me feel awful for anywhere from 3 to 5 days. I love food in general and I sometimes miss all the things I used to enjoy, but the energy and that feeling of well-being that hits right at about a month of staying dedicated to this dietary regimen is really indescribable. There's no one size fits all kind of diet, and I can't guarantee it'll be the same for everyone, but for me it has been amazing, and so far everyone else that I know that has tried some close variation of this way of eating, and who were able to endure the uncomfortable transition period), have also seen amazing results, (like reversing diabetes in one case). Mainstream medicine has some things right, but they are also wrong about many things. Be super careful and do your due diligence before embarking on anything as seemingly extreme as this. There seems to be some genetic component that is way above my paygrade that determines which foods are best for any given person.

This looks absolutely delicious! When I make pemmican, it tends to be as a long-term storage option. In that case, I would lose the bananas (the fruit is meant to increase acid levels, which helps preservation. I would also add more tallow - enough that there's a layer on the outside, sealing the meat within. This sort of pemmican is typically broken up in a stewpot, with some greens and maybe a thickening agent (cattail or acorn flour was traditionally popular in my area); it's an ingredient, rather than a stand-alone food. That said, this recipe looks like a great option for a camping trip, or some other situation where it only needs to keep for a few weeks before use - and that pecan & apple smoke? Glorious!

I've made it with beef tallow, ghee and cocoa butter. Ghee was pretty tasty but didn't keep as well.
