Introduction
This traditional Native American food made from dried meat pounded into a paste could be preserved for long periods of time in the form of pressed cakes. It was especially useful on long journeys or hunting expeditions. This Pemmican makes a great tasting snack like Granola does. It's loaded with Vitamins so if you're very busy and you forget to eat, this would be a great thing to have with you for emergency purposes. You can dry this outside for 2 days or in the oven for 2 hours.This traditional Native American food made from dried meat pounded into a paste could be preserved for long periods of time in the form of pressed cakes.
