Golden Cornish Hens

• 1 package (6 ounces) long grain and wild rice mix
• 1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 6 Cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons honey

1. Prepare rice mix according to package directions. Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set aside. Stir pineapple and raisins into rice.
2. Just before baking, loosely stuff each hen with 3/4 cup rice mixture; tie legs together with kitchen string. Place hens, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350u0b0 for 1-3/4 to 2 hours or until a thermometer reads 180u0b0 for hens and 165u0b0 for stuffing.
4. In a small saucepan, bring honey and reserved pineapple juice to a boil. Remove from the heat. Baste over hens. Bake 15 minutes longer or until golden brown.
