Going to try a canning recipe of liver and onions , it doesn't sound like it will work , but going to try it when canning something for the same time frame pressure canning.
Might even add garlic .

I have tried it ,

remove and cut the connection off where you will see the green bile

then soak it in bucket of ice water over night

then in your bacon grease fry onions and thin slices of the liver so that it cooks quickly and evenly

It tastes ok , but I am not a liver texture fan

I cook big pieces of chopped onions in lard until they are translucent and then add slices of well rinsed deer liver and cook it until it's mostly brown with a little pink in the center. I add a small amount of water once the liver is browned.

I have eaten a lot of deer liver over the last 32 years. One of the last deer livers I cooked was inedible for me. I don't think I got any bile on it, but I don't know why else the flavor was so horrid.

I also like chicken, goose, beef, lamb and pork livers, but liver tastes best when I only eat it once in a while. I think our bodies need the vitamins in liver occasionally, which is why it tastes good as long as you don't eat it to often.

Slice it fairly thin. Soak it in milk overnight . Drain and rinse, pat dry. Dredge in seasoned flour and fry in oil or butter with sliced onions. It doesn't take long to cook if its sliced thin.
I save and eat all my deer livers. Very tasty healthy meal.

If you like liver, coated in flour and fried is probably the gold standard way. But there are WAY better sources of protein. I’d rather eat twice as much tenderloin.

Remove bile sac, slice thin (1/4) inch, and either soak in milk to remove blood and gameyness or marinate in Italian dressing and worchestershire sauce. Cook in a hot greasy cast iron pan with onions, peppers, or mushrooms, according to preference. When nearly done, pour a 1/2 cup of flavorful beer over everything and enjoy

I make jerky out of it for Todd, my wife's pet fox and Oliver the neighbor dog. Their favorite treat by far. Have canned it before with trimmings and blood shot meat for them as well. Cheap dog food. The heart I don't share. Mike

a friends mom used to make us deer gravy

that was some good stuff

bring your hearts in a plastic bag and send them home with him , his mom made it up and sent it back to work with him in a big Tupperware bowl we would toast bread in the break room toaster and eat deer heart gravy for lunch all week

I like caribou and moose liver cooked at someone else’s house, in someone else’s frying pan for someone else to eat. Don’t like liver.

There was an old doctor that used to come hunting for deer and goats in Wy every year when I was there trapping. He always had to fix supper with the internal organs, including the kidneys. The old rancher always said, I'll let you chew the Pi$$ out of them before I take any! grin I always left that for his help also! lol

This year was the first liver I found without flukes. Still left it where I found it. I don't know if deer can pass them on to humans but I'm not interested in eating liver so I haven't looked into it.

The wife and I make ours into liver pate, or paste. Spread it on bread, toast and crackers.

I don't like liver, heart, kidneys be it pork, beef, or especially venison.
Liver is great for weasel trapping, though.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.
