> Do you store your pemmican in the fridge? How long will it keep? No we "store" our pemmican on top of the fridge. Due to it being rendered suet and dried jerky it can last this way for years. Except in our household where it only lasts for days .... then we make more. ;-} > The suet, it is just beef lard, right? We have got beef fat from the grocery stores before (they were even nice enough to grind it for us). Fat works just as well but the suet we get from our butcher is the kidney fat from the cows butchered there. The thick, hard white fat is what you are looking for. It melts easy and is very tasty. We do not get organic either due to lack of it and costs. Whole Foods prepares their meats somewhere else and therefore do not have suet on hand but at times has trimmed fat on hand. > Did you have to develop a taste for pemmican or did you enjoy it upon first > taste? > Thanks! > Mary -San Antonio Personally, we loved pemmican from the first time it hit our mouths. Dakota began eating it when he was 9 months old and he eats it like it is going out of style. ;-} Other people we know taste it and do not like it. They are not willing to acquire a taste for it. Then again, we have been eating raw beef for a while also and loved it from day one too. Kendra and Karen NeanderTwins
