1 c Dried Saskatoon berries or
-dried blueberries

This version uses peanut butter rather than melted suet or lard as the
binding agent, which is more palatable for today's health conscious diets.
Grind [or pound] the dried meat to a mealy powder. Add the dried berries
and seeds or nuts. Heat the honey, peanut butter and cayenne until
softened. Blend. When cooled, store in a plastic bag or sausage casing in a
cool dry place. It will keep for months. From: Edible Wild Fruits and Nuts
