An exploration of liver’s possibilities. I’ve been thinking about this one for a while now. 4 ingredients, keeping it easy and straightforward. It’s very gentle and approachable for squeamish folks. If you added something like a cherry puree to these I think your kids would ask for seconds. Even just like this though it’s not offensive and nothing overtly liver about it. It works for me anyways. I share this just in case you too are exploring consuming raw liver.
I’m into it. It’s so gentle.
I didn’t measure anything so these are just ballparks. I’m not sure what the shelf like would be like but you can freeze extras. I’d eat them soon or half the recipe if you are thinking about trying it. I’m going to eat mine within the week and I think that should be fine. Store them in the fridge. Keep in mind that these are raw foods and should be handled with care and intention to prevent unnecessary spoilage or sickness. This was how I did it, and it worked for me.

Ingredients
- ½ cup raw honey
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 cup raw liver
- Pinch of salt
- 3-4 tablespoons of gelatin
- I had about a 1:1 ratio of honey to liver
Instructions
- Whip honey. [Instructions from Hannah of Lovely Delites: Add honey into an electric mixer and whisk on high speed for 10 minutes. I used one cup and 10 minutes was the perfect amount of time. Honey will turn a pale color and become light and airy.]
- Whip in yolks one by one.
- In a blender puree raw liver till smooth.
- Add whipped honey yolk mixture to blender and blend till mixture is at least 60⁰.
- Add pinch of salt.
- Bloom gelatin. [To “bloom” gelatin, simply sprinkle the gelatin powder onto the surface of a small amount of cold water and let it sit for a few minutes, allowing the gelatin to absorb the liquid and soften, becoming translucent and ready to be incorporated into a recipe; essentially, it’s hydrating the gelatin before fully dissolving it in a hot liquid.]
- Dissolve bloomed gelatin in just enough boiling water, stir with fork, it might take a minute but it’ll dissolve.
- Blend gelatin into liver honey mixture.
- Set in your mold of choice.
I really want to try this! The recipe says 1/2 cup honey, then you say you used 1 cup. Is it just to taste? Thank You!
I think he meant once it was whipped, honey to blended liver was about the same
Can’t wait to try this! We froze raw liver in chocolate chip molds and swallowed as frozen liver pills. That worked great, too, but this wonderful traditional natural sweetener gummy version sounds like a fun way to eat raw liver, thank you for sharing your talents! Wow traditional carpentry, beautiful set of skills you have there. 🙂
Such a creative and approachable way to incorporate raw liver! The simplicity of the recipe and the gentle approach are perfect for those new to the idea. I love how you\’ve shared your process and tips for storage. It’s refreshing to see such thoughtful preparation. Keep exploring and sharing your journey with us!
