Hi Kent, love your channel. My tribe, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, originally from Pembina, North Dakota, made Pemmican. The recipe was bison and cranberries. Cranberries has a natural preservative. You really can't use any other type of berry because it won't keep. We traded over 100 tons of Pemmican a year to the North West Company, Hudson Bay Company, trappers and new settlers from the town of Selkirk, Canada and around the region who would have perished without my tribe. We also fought the Pemmican wars and won. Overnight the buffalo disappeared. Some think it may have been a pandemic, others think it was the US government to eliminate a food source of a potential enemy. Anyway, thank you for shining a spotlight on a food I like to think my people invented.

My great grandmother made this every fall and kept it in a cloth flour sack hanging in the kitchen. She would on occasion give us a piece every once in a while till spring. Then she would start gathering wild berries and any sweet potatoes she had left over and dry them. For several months she would calmly gathered berries some she dried some she canned. Buy early fall she had her meat, dry berries and sweet potatoes. She would then work to make her penny she called it. What she always said "it's in case we don't have enough winter meat" it was absolutely delicious with the sweet potato added it made the berries sweeter to. My great grandmother was Indian and she grew up having it along with her favorite flour sack cloth she used for so many thing. She maded her young children clothes out of the cloth. She could take anything and find a use for it. Knew her plant medicine to. I had this wonderful woman in my life till I was almost 19 years old what a blessing for all my cousins and I.

Hi Kent From one old outdoorsman to another, i found that by boiling your raw fat in water it renders off without burning or overheating. All you do after you have boiled it for a good while is to turn off the oven and let it cool. Voilá, perfect cake of white rendered fat floating on top of the water!!! Lift it off, scrap underside of any meat fragments, dry underside on a kitchen towel and you have got yourself a class act of the cleanest most beautiful cake of fat. Water of course for them hungry doggies or save it for stews or soups to add a delicious flavour. The meat at the bottom then refried to make them cracklings. Mmmm mmmm Too easy

@matthewpeterson3329 Ай бұрын

Great advice. This same process works great when cooking beans and ham hocks. There's bound to be some fat, and letting your pot sit overnight in the fridge after it's done cooking leaves an easily skimmed layer of fat.

Sir. Are you referring to boiling in an oven or on top the stove in a pot of water ? First you talk about boiling then turning the oven off. 🤔😖 may I ask ou to clarify the process you use again please. 🤠 Thank you

@CC-mb8fi Ай бұрын

@brad2548 the issue is not the heat source. If on a stove top, turn it off and let it cool. Propane/lpg/lng can be left over the burner that is off. An electric stove top with a solid heating plate will keep the pot hot for far longer, so its easier to move it aside to cool, or leave it on the switched off plate overnight to continue boiling and cooling slowly, as long as there is enought water in the pot In a campfire, its advisable to remove from the fire heat source and set it aside to cool, other wise you can boil it dry and risk loss of everything, including the pot. Hope that helps.

Most people i meet seem to think that people in history were a lot dumber than we are today. That is simply not the case. They just didn't have the accumulated knowledge that we have today. The fact that drying food, pickling, potting, and other methods of food preservation were discovered and used world wide argues otherwise. These techniques were discovered the world over, and used the world over. The simple fact that you could take meat and fat, both things that didn't keep particularly well, and make a survival food that would keep for months at a time, yeah. Add in berries for the vitamin C (and others) you had to have, and you have a survival food that works.

Pressed it into a pan about 1" thick, and cut it into 6 oz. blocks, then vacuum sealed them. Flavor was like a good granola bar, but a meaty one, haha. I've kept one to test longevity a few years down the road as well.

When I was in grade 3 or 4 in northern Alberta, one of the teachers who was native Canadian, either Cree or Dene, brought some pemmican to school. It was in a rawhide bag, about the size of a cantaloupe. She said that as her ancestors moved from winter grounds to summer grounds and back and forth they would bury the bags along the way so that they had supplies where ever they went. She didn't open the bag, but did mention that it was still edible, and quite old. This was in mid 1960s . A wonderful community we lived in then.

At the main library at University of California, Berkeley, there are old diaries written by people traveling in wagon trains to California. One memorable entry mentions trading with Utes near the Great Salt Lake for "pemmican." They complain that there are too many grasshopper legs and wings in pemmican. The Utes of the area would walk the shores of the lake and harvest pickled/brined/salted grasshoppers or locusts that were washed ashore after landing in the lake and being pickled. These are described as creating drifts of preserved insects along the line where the wave action washed and could be scooped up in baskets. They were harvested, and mixed into pemmican-like food. Grasshoppers were a common staple among the indians of the Great Basin, and the fact casts an interesting light on the "Miracle of the gulls," since where the Mormons saw a disaster, the native people would have seen storable food.

Thank you cowboy. I know a lot of people don't want to admit it, but the truth is for all the wonderful things we have been blessed with today there are still no promises hard times can't come again. And knowing how to make the things that got our grandparents and great grandparents through could be the difference in making it our own selves. I'm starting to garden and can lot more and now I think I'm going to start making this too. God willing, there won't be another Great Depression, but even if there isn't, there's something to be said about knowing there's good wholesome food on our tables.

When I was a kid, my grandpa would dry meat for so long it'd crack like a cracker, that was our meal for years. Gas station beef jerky was a weird discovery for me (teen years) because it was chewy and nasty to me because my grandpa raised us kids off of cheap dried meat lol

Sunday. I took one of the toughest cut of roast and made Steaks 🥩🥩 It was called a Angus London Broil ROUND. My word 🙄🙄 that thing was tough. If making steaks out of it? YOU GOT TO GET IT TENDER! So i took a fork AND POKE IT TO DEATH both side. Then Making sure it was tender i put it in a heavy baking soda brine over night. TOOK IT OUT Risen it off real good. Pat dry, pour butter all over it, salt and pepper. Let it rest while i got the onion peels ready and the fire going CAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO GRILL THAT SUCKER TO LONG. Or you be using for boot sole replacement. 30 min smoking 30 min flame broil THAT IT > OFF IN THE HOUSE IT WENT > TO REST It was so tender. it just about melted in my mouth. WOW EXCELLENT. 👌👌

I love to make this for hunting season. Very lightweight and energy dense. No refrigeration needed either. It tastes like milkbones in my opinion but still good enough to eat. I add salt to mine when I make it and it works great. I make mine in muffin tins and they are roughly 800 calories per mold. So I am able to carry 3200 calories in a sandwich bag and is compact. I could easily bring twice that amount if needed.
