Cherry Balsamic Glazed Game Hens

• 3 game hens
• Boxed stuffing
• Dried cherries
• Candied walnuts
• Leeks
• Shallots
• Handful each of king trumpet and clam shell mushrooms
• Minced garlic
• Cherry Balsamic Vinegar
• Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0
2. Make the stuffing according to the package instructions to get 4 cups worth. Add cherries and walnuts, I used the cinnamon honey walnuts that I got at the farmer's market.
3. Stuff the birds and put them in a deep dish that allows for a bit of room between the birds.
4. Wash and dice the leeks and shallots. Cut the mushrooms however you want them cut. I like them whole unless they were rather large then I cut them down a bit.
5. In a deep sauce pan heat the olive oil and add the garlic, leeks shallots and mushrooms. Sauteing them until the shallots are soft (the mushrooms will fully cook in the oven so don't over cook the leeks now).
6. Add about 1/2 a cup of the balsamic vinegar and boil down a bit. Pour this over the hens and then place in the oven for an hour. If after an hour they aren't done (mine weren't but I always like to check) cook for another 25-30 minutes.
