Heart's Delight

A gourmet sandwich made with a deer's ticker

For generations, fresh, fried deer heart was a staple among sportsmen, especially those in deer camps. Sadly, too few of us care to fool with this delicacy today, but those who do enjoy a very tasty dish. I cook deer heart in a slow cooker; when its done, I cut the meat into very thin slices and enjoy heart sandwiches for lunch.

1. Clean heart well, removing all blood vessels. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Place heart in a small slow cooker.
3. Add a 10-ounce can of condensed cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup of water.
4. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
5. Slice the meat thin. Serve on a sandwich with mustard, cheddar cheese and slices of mild onion.
