How To Make bird suet

Step 1

Carefully melt the lard and peanut butter in a very large pot over low heat, then add all of the other ingredients and stir to mix.

Step 2

Pour into a large pan and put in the refrigerator overnight. It will firm up.
Step 3

Cut into blocks to fit your suet feeder. Or you can reuse the containers that commercial suet comes in.
Step 4

Heloise says: Why spend a bunch of money on fancy feeder hooks when a good old coat hanger will work great? Jut bend it into a hook on each end, or use tow if you need it longer and you have a strong inexpensive suet hanger!
