Outdoor Bird Treats

Ingredients:
3/4 pound lard
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup hulled sunflower seeds
1 cup crushed crackers
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup peanut butter

Using a double boiler, melt the lard over low heat. Let cool, then transfer to a medium-size bowl. Mix in the sesame and sunflower seeds, crackers, and raisins. Add the peanut butter.

Stir until combined. Let the mixture harden by refrigerating overnight. Put in a bird feeder or hang in netting coarse enough to allow birds to penetrate it with their beaks.
