Pemmican
This traditional Native American food made from dried meat pounded 
into a paste could be preserved for long periods of time in the form 
of pressed cakes. It was especially useful on long journeys or 
hunting expeditions. 
2 ounces dried beef jerky 
blender or food processor 
rubber spatula 
4 dried apple slices 
handful of raisins, dried cranberries, or dried cherries 
wax paper 
rolling pin 
Grind the dried beef jerky in the blender until it is chopped very 
finely. Add the dried fruit and raisins. Grind until fine. Empty the 
mixture from the blender onto a sheet of wax paper. Lay another sheet 
of wax paper on top and roll over the top sheet with a rolling ping 
until the pemmican is approximately 1/8 inch thick. Let dry between 
the wax paper a day or two in the sun. To dry in an over: Flip the 
pemmican from the wax paper into a pie tin. Set the tin in a 350 
degree oven for two hours, turning over several times as it dries.
When completely dry, break of pieces to eat as a snack. Store 
leftover pemmican in a sealed container or plastic bag in the 
refrigerator.
