Honey-Glazed Hens With Fruit Stuffing

• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 4 cups cubed day-old bread
• 1/2 cup dried fruit bits
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
• 4 Cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces each)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon honey

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and celery; cook and stir until tender. Stir in the bread, fruit bits, water and allspice; cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
2. Loosely stuff hens with stuffing. Tuck wings under hens; tie drumsticks together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Combine butter and honey; drizzle over hens.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350u0b0 for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 180u0b0 for hens and 165u0b0 for stuffing, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if hens brown too quickly. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
