This is one of the best year 'round suet recipes that the North American Wildlife Health Care Center uses. This is the 10th year that we will be feeding our fall and winter visitors this treat. The Center keeps it out every day of the year.
1 cup creamy peanut butter, or crunchy. The less expensive the peanut butter, the fewer preservatives in it.
2 cups minute oats
2 cups white or yellow cornmeal
1 cup mixed bird seeds
1 cup white flour
1 cup lard (do not use oils of any other kind.)
1/2 cup raisins
2 to 3 very over-ripe bananas
Mix all the ingredients together. If you wish to make into cakes, melt the lard and peanut butter, and then stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour the mixture into freezer containers 1 1/2 inches thick. Allow to cool, and then cut it into cakes. It stores well in the freezer.
You do not have to melt and freeze. You can mix the ingredients together and pick a rough bark tree and rub it on it. The birds love it this way.
