I have made pemmican with organic pork fat; it was very good.
I put it in a jar and ate it with a spoon, so it didn't need to be firm.
I have also made some with coconut oil (which will melt at 75 degrees,
so you probably want to keep that in a jar too).
Thanks for sharing your story with us; it is inspiring.
