If you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your Christmas dinner table, our Test Kitchen home economists suggest these Cornish game hens topped with a sweet apricot glaze. Ingredients:
2 cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces each), split lengthwise |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon white pepper |
1/3 cup apricot spreadable fruit |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
Directions:
1. Place hens, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine spreadable fruit and orange juice. Spoon some of the apricot mixture over the hens. Bake 30-35 minutes longer or until golden brown and juices run clear, basting several times with remaining apricot mixture. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
