Fruit Pemmican

Description: A fruit version with just eggs and flour. I found this and posted it about 2001 or 2002 when I was researching Native American food.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup dried apricot
• 3/4 cup pine nuts
• 3/4 cup raisins
• 3/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup dried apple
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries or 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
• 1/3 cup brown sugar or 1/3 cup blueberries
• 1/2 cup flour

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 3750. Put apricots, apples, raisins, pinenuts, and sunflower seeds in a food processor or grinder.
2. Process until apricots and apples are in fine pieces and nuts are ground fine. Transfer mixture to a bowl and add remaining ingredients.
3. Mix well and spoon into a buttered 9 X 13 baking dish. Bake 30 minutes. Cut into bars.
4. Plains Indian.
