I have only made pemmican once but I used a 1/1 ratio of jerky to rendered
tallow by weight rather than volume. I liked the texture and taste.

Subject: Pemmican Texture

Hi;

I just received some pemmican from a guy who makes it in Toronto. He's sent 
me 3 samples and I have opened the first tonight. It a plain one made from 2

parts beef jerky to 1 tallow.

I was surprised at the texture - visually it looks a little like dark brown 
sugar that has clumped together. I was expecting sort of a contiguous mass, 
but this is almost dry.  The taste is better than expected. There are two 
other sample packages to eat/try.
