APRICOT-CASHEW CORNISH HENS
I like to serve this at dinner parties or when I have company. It sounds involved, but you are cooking the rice and other ingredients while the hens are roasting.

Steps:
- 1. Remove giblets from the hens; reserve for other uses. Rinse the hens with cold water, and pat dry. Close cavities, and secure with wooden picks; truss. Place hens, breast side up, in a lightly greased shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle hens with paprika. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour.
- 2. Combine the apricot reserves, orange rind, and orange juice in a small bowl; stir well. Seat aside 1/3 cup of the apricot mixture. Brush the hens with the remaining 1/3 cup apricot mixture. Bake 30 minutes or until the hens are done, basting occasionally with the apricot mixture.
- 3. Bring the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; add rice mix. Return to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- 4. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat,. Add cashews and saute until lightly browned, Remove cashews from the skillet with a slotted spoon. Set aside.
- 5. Add green onions to the butter in the skillet, and saute until tender. Add the green onions to the rice mixture; stir well.
- 6. Place the rice mixture on a serving platter; sprinkle with the cashews. Place the hens on top of the rice mixture. Brush with the reserved 1/3 cup apricot mixture. Enjoy!
