DIY ~ Making homemade Suet for the birds and other animals is very easy. Below are both recipes! • • Homemade Soft Suet ~ Non-Cooked • • 1 cup smooth or chunky Peanut Butter • 1 cup Vegetable Shortening • 1 cup White Flour • 2-3 cups Yellow Corn Meal **(see Note)** • 1 cup Quick Oats • • I use a Kitchen Aid mixer to mix all the ingredients, however you can mix it by hand. • • ***(NOTE)***(Start by using 2 cups of Corn Meal if its to moist add the remaining Corn Meal.) • • After it is mixed you can add: • • Optional: Any of the following ingredients: • • Hulled Sunflowers, Chopped Nuts, Cracked Corn, Raisins or Dried Fruits. • • Mix ingredients together well and roll into little balls and stuff in a Suet log or smear on the trunk of a tree or branch or on a rock. • • To make the Suet Log.. pick a log of your choice and drill large holes for the Peanut Butter Suet. Add a chain to hang your log. • • • Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. • When you need to re-fill your log, take a knife and slice a few chunks of the Suet (It gets hard in the refrigerator) Let it get to room temperature so that you can easily fill the Log. • • If you like a softer Suet add more Peanut Butter and Shortening. If you would like a drier Suet to crumble on the ground add more Corn Meal, Oats Nuts. • • • • Homemade Hard Suet ~ Cooked • • 1 cup smooth or chunky Peanut Butter • 1 cup Vegetable Shortening • 2 cups White Flour • 2 cups Yellow Corn Meal • 1 cup Quick Oats • • Melt the Shortening and Peanut Butter in a large pan. Remove from the heat. • Add the Flour, Corn Meal and Oats. Mix well. If its to moist add more Corn Meal. • • After it is mixed you can add: • • Optional: Any of the following ingredients: • • Hulled Sunflowers, Chopped Nuts, Cracked Corn, Raisins or Dried Fruits. • • Let the Suet cool a little bit so that its easy to handle. • • To shape your suet: • • Save old store bought Suet containers.. spray with cooking spray and fill with the Peanut Butter Suet. Press, cover and let dry in the Freezer. • • Or spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and form the Peanut Butter Suet into Pattys. Flatten out. Cover and let dry in the Freezer. • • After they have dried. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer. When ready to use, place the Suet Patty/Cake in a Wire Suet Feeder. • • Link to my video on Crumbled Homemade Suet: • • Homemade Crumbled Suet for Wildlife • • Happy Birding!! #NaturesFairy #NaturesFairy
