Consuming a rest API in rails 3.2.13

I have two rails apps running on different ports. From one app I am trying to consume the API of the other app. Here's the code for Product.rb model in APP_1. 

class Product < ActiveResource::Base
  self.site = "https://localhost:3000"
  self.ssl_options = {:cert         => OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(File.open(pem_file)),
                      :key          => OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.open(pem_file)),
                      :ca_path      => "/path/to/OpenSSL/formatted/CA_Certs",
                      :verify_mode  => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER}
end

I have a controller and routes set for Product model. When I run APP_1 i get 

 undefined local variable or method `pem_file' for Product:Class

Can anyone tell me about how to write a pem file, what is a pem file?
