Pets these are delicious, Best chicken livers that I've ever made or eaten My DH really, really liked them. This recipe is diffently a keeper.Though you didn't mention how much oil or what to do with the bacon, so I fried the bacon , removed it from the pan then added the livers.I put the bacon back in when I lowered the heat and added the marinade.This worked fine.

I like these fruity livers very much but the rest of my family didn't care for them, I attribute that to kids generally not being too keen on liver and a Greek husband who is wary of meat cooked with fruit. With Barb's added instructions, the recipe was easy to follow.

Barbara is absolutely right, I forgot to mention that. My only excuse is that I have made this so often those steps are such a routine in my head that I forgot to put it on paper! All I can say is, that if you follow her instructions it works, if the bacon does not release enough fat use a little oil, just enough to brown the chicken livers.
