A Superbowl Snack Fit For a King

Mouth watering lard & peanut butter suet

Yes, nothing like a heaping portion of lard and peanut butter suet while you watch the big game! The birds (woodpeckers primarily) have finished off my monster cube of homemade suet, and I whipped up a new one for them yesterday. For those of you who missed the recipe in an earlier blog, here it is. Heat 1 lb of lard and 1 lb of cheap peanut butter together in a sauce pan. When mixture becomes liquid, pour it into an 8x8 in foil pan. Stir in about a cup of mixed bird seed (I use one with peanuts and sunflower hearts). Let congeal at room temperature and then leave it outside overnight so it freezes. Remove the suet from its foil mold and place it in your suet holder. If you plan on eating this with chips during the game, don't place it outside to freeze; just let it congeal to the consistency of a cheese dip and dig in! Yummy!
