This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The Cornish hens were cooked well and the sauce was easy to make. I would recommend trying this recipe if you like sweet and tangy flavors.

I followed the recipe exactly and the Cornish hens turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked them. The honey mustard sauce was good, though.
