Suet, 2 to 3 c. melted

sunflower seed

Raisins
Finely chopped nuts
Finely ground egg shells
Brown sugar, approximately 1/4 cup

Chop or shave suet and place in a large metal saucepan. Melt, stirring constantly, understanding that some will remain semi solid. Do not allow to smoke. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter and dissolve. Then add other ingredients alternately until the mixture is the consistency of oatmeal. Pour into pie pans and cool. Store in the freezer. Recycle your mesh onion bags by placing a bird pie inside and hang outside for the birds. Feed mainly in winter, lest the mixture spoil in warm weather. Note...rinse your eggshells and let dry completely. Place in a double plastic bag and crush finely with a rolling pin and save for future use.
