Want to attract your feathered friends? Want something cheaper and better than the suet blocks found in 'big block' stores? The birds go crazy for this! We get several species of woodpecker, bluejays, chickadees, nuthatches, blackbirds, snowbirds and others coming to taste our wares! Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter |
1/2 cup lard |
1/2 cup suet |
2 cups oatmeal |
1 cup mixed wild bird seed |
1 cup cornmeal |
1/2 cup whole wheat flour |
1 cup chopped cranberries or 1 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Melt the lard and peanut butter, and mix in the dry ingredients and bird seed. Often we mix in bacon fat, bread crumbs, Red River cereal, or whatever we have on hand. Work well together. Make into 4 x 4 x 2 inch blocks and freeze. Place in suet feeder in a tree and watch the birds come to feast!
