PEMMICAN (CREE INDIANS)
Lean beef into thin strips. Dried until brittle, either in the sun or over hickory coals, but not over a flame. Grind strips alone or with raisins, prunes or apricots. Add just enough hot fat to make a thick dough. Form into small loaves and enclose in a muslin casing. Dip loaves into melted paraffin to seal. Store in a dry place. Will keep for months and is great for hiking or camping trips.
