Step 1 of 13

Place liver on your board and slice in 0.5mm/ or 1/4" thick slivers.

Step 2 of 13

Place slivers onto paper lined tray/sheet.

Step 3 of 13

Place in a LOW oven, approx. 120C/250F for 2-3hrs, or until dried out and crisp.

Step 4 of 13

Liver should look similar to this halfway through.

Step 5 of 13

Alternatively you could use a dehydrator.

Step 6 of 13

Lay out slivers and place in dehydrator. Check manual for time needed. Approx. appearance halfway through.

Step 7 of 13

Appearance when dried out in oven after 2hrs.

Step 8 of 13

Appearance when dried out in dehydrator after 6hrs.

Step 9 of 13

Bottom left is the oven dried treat. Top right is the dehydrator version.

Step 10 of 13

Oven Pros: quicker and quieter. Oven Cons: liver aroma whilst drying was quite strong.

Step 11 of 13

Dehydrator Pros: less 'aromatic' than the oven process. Dehydrator Cons: took three times longer and noisier.

Step 12 of 13

Store in ziplock bags or containers.

Step 13 of 13

As these are not salted or processed with chemical preservatives, keep an eye on them for signs of deterioration in crispness or signs of spoilage.

You're Done!

I'm guessing at a few weeks if kept moisture free. Just keep an eye on them and make sure they're thoroughly dried out and cool before you bag them off.
