Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 1 1/2-pound Cornish game hens
2 cups cooked packaged long-grain and wild rice mix (half of uncooked 6.25-ounce package)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup honey
1 10-ounce package frozen whole unsweetened raspberries, thawed
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine pepper and garlic powder in bowl. Pat hens dry inside and out. Season cavities with half of pepper mixture. Fill cavities with rice. Close cavities using skewers. Tuck wing tips under. Place hens in roasting pan. Melt butter with honey in small saucepan. Brush over hens. Sprinkle with remaining pepper mixture. Bake hens until juices run clear when thighs are pierced in thickest part, turning and basting frequently with honey-butter mixture, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine remaining 4 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until sauce thickens, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Sieve sauce to remove seeds if desired.
  • Transfer hens to cutting board. Cut each in half. Transfer hens with stuffing to plates. Spoon sauce over.

Not bad, but I've had better. The hens were a bit dry and the sauce was too sweet for my taste.
