We LOVE this recipe!! We made it for Thanksgiving this year and everyone just ranted and raved. It sure didn't last very long.

I grew up with having rumaki on new years each year, and since I'm on my own I needed to find the recipe. This was perfect. Exactly like the stuff I remember. The only change, I didn't baste them instead after preparing them I rolled them in brown sugar before broiling them. Turned out perfect.

Made it w/o the bacon and sherry (didn't have either), and it turned out great. The liver cooks real quick and easy, I had to be careful not to overdo it. Thanks.
