    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, 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.

    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

      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
      @CC-mb8fi 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @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.

    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.

    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.

It was bear meat that my father shot as the bear was climbing up the tree to kill him. That was a hard winter. But the bear was dead, and you eat what you have available. Greasy, gamey, nasty meat, but it kept the family alive. And it wasn't all that great after a few days, thus the rancid part.

    I have had pemmican before. I got it from Cree Native vendors at a food stall, at a food festival, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The Cree are Canada's largest native tribe. They go from British Columbia, to Newfoundland and Labrador. I've even heard about pemmican that farmers found in their fields, in Saskatchewan, that was really old and it was still edible. Pemmican is a very nutritious food. You should do a collaboration with Jon Townsend on other historical dishes. Cheers, Kent and Shannon! ✌️

    I make my own tallow for frying and candle/soap making. You can put the strained batch into a bowl and into the fridge. Let it cool and scrape the sediment from the bottom, put back into the pot, heat, and repeat. This will take the debris and purify the tallow which will make it more and more tasteless and pure white color.

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.

    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.

At the time I did not know what pemmican was, so I looked it up. So, I’ve heard about it for a while now, but I’ve never tried making it. I think I will give it a try!

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. 👌👌
