(Moon Township, PA, USA)

2 cups crunchy peanut butter
2 cups lard (no substitutions)
4 cups cornmeal
4 cups quick oats
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar

Melt peanut butter and lard in a saucepan on stovetop. Meanwhile, mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Pour melted PB/lard into dry ingredients and mix well. Line a jelly roll pan with wax paper. Pour hot mixture onto jelly roll pan and smooth with a spatula. Place pan outside (if below 32 degrees) or in freezer to harden. When hard, cut into 4X4 squares, place into wire suet holder (found in most stores near the bird seed)and hang from a tree branch outside. Save remainder in a Ziploc in the freezer. You will have the happiest birds in town! Woodpeckers love it!
