Deer Heart (TQ Seasoned and Sautéed in Butter)
Sooooo---I never used any cure on a heart before. All we ever did with the hearts, if they weren't blown apart, was soak in salt water for a few hours, rinse, season, and sauté.
The only thing I did different this time was to soak in TQ & Brown sugar for 24 hours.
My mission wasn't really to cure the heart meat, because I wasn't going to smoke it low & slow.
The rest is explained above each picture.
Thanks for looking,

A little chewy, but awesome flavor!!!
