No-melt Suet (for Birds)

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups quick-cooking oats
• 2 cups cornmeal
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup lard (i use bacon grease)
• 1 cup crunchy peanut butter

Recipe

• 1 melt the lard and peanut butter together, either on the stove or in the microwave.
• 2 combine all of the dry ingredients.
• 3 add the dry ingredients to the melted fats.
• 4 the original recipe suggests pouring into a square pan about 2 inches deep, or spreading onto tree limbs. i just put it into ziplock containers and scoop it out as needed to fill a screen type of feeder (see photos). i use my cookie scoop to take it out, but then mash and break up the scoops, because otherwise the squirrels can come and take a whole scoop at once, way too easily! i don't know if it would hold up well in cake form, as i haven't tried that, but it defintely doesn't melt or make a gloppy mess.
