I Just Found A Recipe For Suet

Tweet

I purchased some suet this winter and put it out in a little “cage” on my hummingbird feeder rack this winter and the birds loved it. They gobbled it up very fast. I was so excited, seeing all the different types of birds that came. One was a gorgeous cardinal. He came every day. My hummers are actually back now and I have the hummingbird feeders going strong. But, I came across this recipe in an old copy of “Wildbird” magazine. I used to subscribe to this magazine and then stopped the subscription, but in cleaning out my home office, I came across some old magazines and decided to look at them again before tossing them away. I found this recipe so I’m definitely saving that recipe in the magazine for this coming winter. I can make the suet myself, instead of buying it. It actually consists of animal fat or lard, but you can also use peanut butter and/or cornmeal. I will have to figure out if it’s cheaper to make it myself, or buy it already made. There were several recipes, using seeds, nuts, raisins and other bird foods. So, I saved the page and will refer to it this coming winter to make my own suet. I so enjoy watching the birds out of my front window year around.
