Slice it 1/4 inch thick (I sometime strip it for quicker cooking) and cut out all the connective tissue and vessels.  Make a flour with salt and pepper, cover the meat in the flour mixture and cook in butter or oil til done.  I love heart.  If you like heat...add crushed red pepper flakes to your flour mixture.

Heck yes. Trim off the fat from around the heart, trim off the top so you see inside each chamber. With scissors, trim out any connective tissue till you have a clean heart wtih little else. In a bowl, mix equal parts chopped onion and chopped apple. Add a bit of salt and some pepper to the mix. Stuff each chamber of the heart to bulging. Stuff even more. Bake in an oven maybe 350 degrees, lay a few bacon over the top. Bake till done, not retaining red blood but not pink, and not overly done (grey).

Cut heart up with your bacon and drippings.

Serve on a plate with a cold beer in your hand. Fantastic hunt camp eats too!

Cooked it this way today.  Salt, pepper, then flour and fry not too long.  Makes the gutless method stupid when you add in the liver and loin. 

Never say never;  If I had too. I would sacrifice the few meals for the time involved.  Don't forget the caul. hahahahha.

I cut off the top then spiral cut the heart and lay it out flat. Trim off the fat then pair out the connective inner tissues. Slice into strips. Heat a cast iron skillet med+ heat. Add a quality oil to pan and fresh shaved garlic slices. Add heart slices and sprinkle with some Montreal seasoning. Serve as an appetizer. Yum!

Thanks for the recipes guys :tup:   

Do any of you freeze the heart for later occasions or is it better to use it right away?

We try to eat at camp, but often freeze for later use.....(last day bucks)....  Wrap twice in plastic  wrap, then over with foil or waxed paper to protect the plastic....

Another good use is to make sandwichs out of it. 

2 cups water
2 bay leaves
corriander
pepper
salt

Boil for an hour, slice into sandwich meat.  Great with mustard and rye.  Make sure to cut the heart into smaller chunks for cooking.  This recipe is for a deer heart and I cut the heart in half.
