Just a quick cautionary note: the fat being skimmed off the boiled meat is NOT the kind of fat you want to use for pemmican. It is muscle tissue fat, and will go rancid after a while, even after rendering. The fat that is used to make shelf-stable tallow is called leaf fat, kidney fat, and/or organ fat. You have to ask a butcher specifically for this kind of fat (go ahead and use all three names), and make it clear you do NOT want any muscle fat, if you want to render your own tallow at home--most grocery store butchers will not have this kind of fat, though an actual butcher should. Only the fat found in the abdominal cavity of ruminants (beef, deer, bison) can be rendered with slow-cooking methods into shelf-stable tallow that can last decades. The reason is that muscle fat is meant to move with the actions of the muscles next to it, and thus has a lower melting point. It also has more water and different nutrients & trace minerals, since it's right there to supply that long-sustaining energy to the muscles. Kidney fat is not required to be flexible, does not have the exact same chemical profile, and can be kept shelf-stable at higher temperatures than soft muscle fat. It's designed to be burned at a different rate & for different needs than muscle fat. It also sits in the core of the body, enveloped in a higher body temperature than near the extremities/outer surface. So be careful which fats you end up using.

Also you dont cook the meat, you dehydrate it raw to maintain the nutrients and dont over heat the tallow, donald porta shows the true way to make pemmican.

Is the tallow sold pre-made organ fat or is it muscle fat?
@Happy2Run4Me Жыл бұрын
I made mine with rendered tallow from grass fed suet. It worked perfectly. You’re right about the rendered tallow from ground muscle meat. It does not hold up to long term storage at all as I kept learning from the mold I would get on my rendered muscle meat fat and I tried rendering with a wet/ salted slow cook method as well as dry methods and chilling and it still went bad quickly. Suet is the way to go for sure!

The traditional berries are serviceberries, also called saskatoon berries. If you live in zone 2-5 and have alkaline soil, these are also a great blueberry replacement. The wild berries have little taste. Cultivars developed by the university of Saskatchewan are best. Honeyberryusa and a couple other places sell them in the US . The best tasting ones are Smoky, Lee 3 and Lee 8. Smoky suckers profusely, so one or 2 bushes will grow into a a large supply of berries. BTW, they'll also grow in altitudes as high as 10,000 ft

Pemmican is "the ultimate survival food" ONLY IN IT'S TRUE ORIGINAL FORM OF MEAT AND FAT ONLY !! NO BERRIES, NUTS OR GRAINS! EVER!! JUST MEAT AND FAT ONLY! Carbohydrates are FERMENTABLE, fats and protein are more stable. Adding fermentable carbohydrates makes the pemmican biochemically unstable and causes it to quickly rot and spoil and is a White Man idea that destroys the utility, longevity, nutrition and purpose of pemmican as an extended survival food. From Vilhalmer Steffanson's book "THE FAT OF THE LAND" page 279 highsteaks.com/the-fat-of-the-land-not-by-bread-alone-vilhjalmur-stefansson.pdf "The attack of the adulterators upon the pure travel ration was more serious than has thus far been indicated. For pemmican had a great merit other than portability in being the most preservable of foods. It is the true pemmican, made exclusively of dried lean and rendered fat, concerning which we have testimony that it was as good after twenty or thirty years as the day it was made. Pemmicans which had dried berries in them did not keep well, in comparison. The "modern" pemmicans that contain ground-up bacon, shredded coconut, butter, pea meal, and the like, spoil quickly. They cannot be used on long summer journeys, unless canned. So there we have the attack on pemmican revealed. By progressively adding more and more fruit, by adding sugar or flour, to make the food more nearly European style, the Europeans tended to increase the bulk and weight, which meant decreasing the advantage that pemmican has over other foods in being lighter and more compact for a given energy value. A so-called pemmican that contains raisins, shredded coconut, pea meal, sugar, and the like, is no longer very light or very compact in proportion to energy value, and ceases to have the true pemmican's great advantage over other food. The first step, then, that led to the Second Pemmican War, the struggle of 1942-45 for the overthrow of pemmican as a dominant condensed ration, was taken by the first European, whoever and wherever he was, who told the first Indian that pemmican would be "better" if it had more fruit in it."

Before the days of freeze dried foods you are absolutely correct. However, freeze drying a berry removes over 99% of its moisture while retaining 95%+ of its nutrition. Also makes it shelf stable for 30 years and feather light. So cooking the meat then freeze drying it and the berries, then powdering them, also makes a better, longer lasting pemmican than dehydrated products.

You are right that many of the original recipes had raw meet that was dried over a slow campfire. That just has a bit too much risk for me to promote, though I would do it certainly if I had to! Berries were very common, but some have far less sugar than others. Blueberries work great because they have a lot less sugar in them. Thank you for sharing, Robin! I'll bet yours is wonderful!

@@PREPSTEADERS Thank you for your answer.. I think the first pemican was from sundried meat.. Indians have been making it for centuries longer.. You have one of the best channels on KZbin..

You can melt the tallow first, it makes easier the mixing after.

How do you store your pemmican? I realize they are shelf stable, but what do you keep them in? Thank you. PS- appreciate your scriptures at the end of your videos!

First time viewer. Thanks for the info and the scripture. Growing up my dad called that fat used in pemmican suet and said it came from the kidney of the animal. I've never made it. I've made my own venison jerky and also canned it. I've just never gotten around to pemmican yet. Thx for the inspiration.

Just curious would honey indeed shorten the shelf life as it is on it's own good forever?
