How to Make Liver Jerky Dog Treats

Making your own dog treats has a lot of benefits! You know exactly what has gone making the treat and get to have a little fun in the kitchen! Making your own treats is also quite cost effective since organ meats are inexpensive.
You can use this method for any type of organ meat like kidneys, hearts etc.
The actual preparation time for these treats was about 45 minutes, not counting the boiling and drying of the meat.
If you cut the liver small enough, this treat can be suitable for cats.
STEP 1 - Cutting the Liver Cut the liver into 2 X 2 inch chunks.
Now is the time to preheat the oven to it's lowest setting, which is usually 250F.
STEP 2 - Boiling the Liver Place the liver chunks into a decent sized pot and add a generous amount of water to cover the meat.
Place the pot on a burner turned onto HIGH.
The liver chunks should start to boil in about 10 minutes.
Liver cooks really quickly, so let the liver cook at a full boil for about 5 minutes and remove the pot from the burner.
Take kitchen tongs and remove the liver chunks from the water.
Place them on a plate covered with some paper towels to soak up the water and to let the liver cool.
STEP 3 - Slicing the Liver Chunks into Slivers To dry the liver effectively, it must be sliced into smaller slivers.
Try to cut the liver into uniform pieces so that everything dries evenly.
For these chunks, 1/4″ thick pieces seemed to work well.
Put the slivers on a well oiled cookie sheet and place in the preheated oven.
Drying time in the oven will be approximately 1.
5 to 2 hours, depending on how thick you have cut the pieces.
STEP 4 - Drying The Liver After an hour check on the liver, but it will probably need more time.
The liver will be done when it is no longer rubbery and snaps into pieces when you try to break it.
