Pemmican was originally prepared by the North American Indians using dried, ground meat mixed with fat and dried fruits. This is a vegetarian version full of fruits, nuts, and fiber for a high energy snack! Ingredients:
1/2 cup raisins |
1/2 cup dried dates, pitted |
1/2 cup dried fig, stems removed |
1/2 cup whole almond |
1/2 cup cashews |
1/2 cup walnut pieces |
1/2 cup pecan pieces |
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ |
1/2 cup wheat bran |
1 tablespoon flax seed, ground |
1/2 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder |
1/2 cup honey |
Directions:
1. Chop all the fruit, nuts and ground flax seed, and mix together. Mix the dry ingredients together and add to the fruit and nut mixture, a little at a time, alternately with honey. Add just enough water(about 1/2 cup) to moisten. Press into a buttered 8 loaf pan.
2. Bake in a 375*F. oven for 30 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack. When it's cooled, remove from pan, slice into bars.
3. Bars can be transferred to a freezer container or bag and frozen for up to 3 months. To remove bars easily from the pan, line pan with foil and grease foil with butter. Enjoy!
4. Makes 16.
