Ah, that sounds like the ticket!   If you didn't use the entire 5  
gal., do you suppose that it would keep okay without being  
refrigerated?  Apologies if that's a dumb question.

Yes, good point.  I got some of both kinds, and I only got the cherry  
kind as a "stepping stone" in case I couldn't stand the taste of the  
ones without.  But frankly, the cherries and honey don't seem all that  
necessary.  I like it fine without them.  So I'm planning on letting  
my hubby eat the cherry ones and I was going to hog all the ones  
without.  He isn't a believer in the zero carb thing yet, and so he's  
not trying the experiment with me.  But he could still benefit from  
the good pemmican nevertheless.  :-)
