For Your Feathered Friends

Do you like to keep your bird feeders full and your birds healthy and happy at your house?

I just love seeing all of the birds that come to visit…………The Cardinals, Blue Jays, Chickadees, and yes, even the Sparrows.

 

I decided to search for a suet recipe and here’s what I found.

For this recipe you will need:

saucepan

solid shortening

peanut butter

corn meal

quick oats seeds or nuts

raisins or other dried fruits

bread crumbs if desired

Place 1 cup of solid shortening and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter in a saucepan over very low heat. Stir until melted.

To the melted shortening mixture, add 3 cups plain cornmeal. Mix thoroughly.

Stir in any combination of the following: quick oats, raisins, chopped apple, bird seed, bread crumbs, or dried berries. Stir until combined.

Pour into a plastic container lined with aluminum foil. Place in the refrigerator cool.

Once the suet is cooled and solid, slice into squares and place into your suet cage.

Store any remaining squares in the refrigerator. Enjoy watching your feathered friends!

I’m still trying to finish up my Christmas Decorating.  It would go a lot faster for me if I would quit rearranging everything!

I hope to be back later in the weekend with some more photos.
