For the Birds. This recipe is from a family member.
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup lard
1 cup sugar
1 cup cornmeal
3 cups oatmeal
Melt peanut butter and lard together in microwave for about a minute. Stir in sugar, then cornmeal and then oatmeal one cup at a time. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator or until it gets hard. It can then be cut into sections to fit the suet cage.
Note: Marie’s Grandma makes the recipe 4 times as large except she only uses 3 cups of sugar and pours it into a 9 x 13 pan. After it hardens, they cut it in half. Each half will fit into one of the super-sized suet cages. They also keep very well in the refrigerator.
