Apricot Glazed Cornish Hens Recipe

• 2 c. Dry bread cubes
• 1/2 c. Celery, sliced
• 1/4 c. Onion, minced
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Marjoram leaves
• 1/2 c. Apricot preserves
• 1/4 c. Margarine
• 2 Tbsp. White wine or possibly chicken broth
• 4 x Cornish game hens
• 1/2 c. Apricot preserves
• 1/2 c. Margarine
• 1/2 tsp Marjoram leaves

1. Heat oven to 375.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together all stuffing ingredients EXCEPT preserves, margarine and wine.
3. In a small saucepan, heat preserves, margarine, and wine or possibly chicken broth.
4. Stir into stuffing mix.
5. Stuff hens, and secure opening with a toothpick.
6. Tuck under wings of hen.
7. Place hens, breast side up, in a roasting pan.
8. Bake for 1 hour.
9. Meanwhile, in a pan, combine all the glaze ingredients, cooking over medium heat until melted, about 2-3 min.
10. Brush hens with half the sauce after about 1 hour of cooking.
11. Continue to brush sauce on, every 15 - 20 min.
12. Continue baking hens for 40 - 50 min, or possibly till hens are fork tender.
13. Loosely cover with foil if hens are browning too quickly.
14. NOTES : You may leave out the stuffing, but this would probably decrease the baking time.
