[solon]

the only thing i do is slice it into thin pieces, then quickly fry it in a pan with some garlic powder on top and olive oil in the pan - like any venison don't overcook  "quickly" fry it

I don't eat the hearts but I know a guy who does.  He says he pickles them.  I don't know the recipe but he loves it and eats them on Super Bowl Sunday!!!

I don't know how many you have but I pickle mine. I also do it with calves heart when I can find it

I have heard pickling is good but they don't last that long here. I will slice and pan fry in butter and consider myself lucky if the kids let me get a slice!!

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Let me know how it turned out

[Fletch]

My son and I tried it over the weekend. It was not our favorite. But we gave it a shot.

Simmered heart,sliced thin with strips of liver, dredged in flour,onions, butter(or marg.) and a little dry red wine. Long ago, that was the camp dinner when I was invited to a "hunt'n" camp. I still remember that meal and enjoy that dish tremendously when I'm fortunate enough to bring a deer home. Mmmm Mmmmm good!

Bummer...hey you tried it. I love pickled stuff.

[jasons75]

I've never had heart before.... Since reading this thread I want to try it! Not sure about the pickling but the other recipes sound excellent.

[Xbolt2506]

I love the heart but what I do is a little different. First, I put a can of Sprite and a cup of milk in a Ziplock bag with the heart for a few days and let it tenderize. I like to let it simmer in apple cider or beet juice with your choice of seasoning. I chop some onions and garlic if using the beet juice. Apple cider...of course you have to use cinnimon!
