I can buy Ghee at my local grocery.

Anybody know of a Canadian online retailer? I don't think I'd chance shipping canned food across the border or customs might end up with lots of butter and cheese in their lunch room.

I'm in Toronto and I've ordered Canned Cheese from Interent grocer. Canada Customs has no issues with it.

If all else fails you could can butter yourself.
Canning butter 1
Canning butter 2
Genneral canning

As for a stable fat for making pemmican. One of the best is rendered pork fat. AKA lard. Although any rendered animal fat will work.

The trick is that the fat is rendered. In other words cooked. Then the liquid portion [Rendered fat] is saved. It is the solid that that becomes rancid.

I have also read that peanut butter can be substituted for the fat in pemmican. I have not tried it myself so can't vouch for it. But in theory it should work. Maybe not as well or for as long. But it should work. Using peanut butter would increase the level of protein and probably the taste.

Peanut butter is (most brands anyhow) are FULL of preservatives. Next time you're at the store try to find the expiry date on a jar of Jiffy...there isn't one! I find that when I make hiking snack food using peanut butter as the main ingredient, it keeps forever regardless of the other ingredients.
