I got the basic idea off of paleofood.com in the dried meat category. Take chicken breast from frozen, and let them thaw just slightly. Then slice very thin. You can then dry it either in your oven on racks on the lowest setting with the door cracked open or use a dehydrator. Once your meat is dried out, process in a food processor to a powder. Add coconut oil, enough to moisten. You can add dried berries as well. I've added currants, dried blueberries, and wolfberries (different batches, not all together). Of course the berries are completely optional. Stevia doesn' work well with this, so if you feel the need for a sweetness boost you can add a small amount of raw honey or maple syrup or whatever floats your boat. You can place the pemmican into muffin papers and refridge or freeze to get them solidified a bit. You can also spread out in a baking dish and then cut into bars once solidified. Enjoy![/i]

Thank you for mentioning the paleofood.com link. There's some great stuff over there. And, thank for the chicken pemmican recipe. Between your recipe and looking at paleofoods.com, I've realized that I can make jerky out of any kind of meat (not just beef, which is SO expensive) and that jerky is a great way to introduce myself to eating raw meat.
