This chopped liver is is so easy, yet so simple to prepare. My family always looks forward to Passover dinner, because they know I'll be serving it with matzo crackers. It's also delicious on bagels the rest of the year. The pinch of sugar keeps the liver from having any bitter taste and makes such a difference when you use it.
