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. -----Original Message----- From: Paleolithic Eating Support List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Marilyn Harris Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 7:06 PM To: [log in to unmask] 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. Marilyn
