Categories: Native, Camping, Dehydrator, Game, Fruits
Yield: 3 Cups

1 c Jerky; beef or venison
1 c Dried Saskatoon berries or
-dried blueberries
1 c Unroasted sunflower seeds or
-crushed nuts of any kind
2 ts Honey
1/4 c Peanut butter
1/2 ts Cayenne [optional]

This version uses peanut butter rather than melted suet or lard as the
binding agent, which is more palatable for today's health conscious diets.

Grind [or pound] the dried meat to a mealy powder. Add the dried berries
and seeds or nuts. Heat the honey, peanut butter and cayenne until
softened. Blend. When cooled, store in a plastic bag or sausage casing in a
cool dry place. It will keep for months. From: Edible Wild Fruits and Nuts
