Optional:
Can add some flour to help suet remain in desired shape

Can add extra cracked corn, or shelled sunflower seeds, small unsalted peanut pieces or try pieces of orange or raisins.

Melt beef fat (shortening), add peanut butter, stir till melted.

Remove from heat and add cornmeal slowly, stir until it reaches desired consistency.
After initial stirring use hands, this way you can test to see if it will maintain its shape.

Too much cornmeal and suet balls/square will fall apart too easily.

Using hands form into ball or small squares. Let cool then refrigerate or freeze.

Suet feeder options:

Some people just place on a platform or board, other use commercial square wire feeder, or hollow out several areas on a piece of wood and press suet in the hollows. Mesh bags may work but some birds may avoid these.
