Ingredients:

Serving

4 large navel oranges, sliced
4 cornish game hens (20 to 24 oz each), split lengthwise
1/4 tsp pepper
1 can (15 oz) plums, pitted, drained
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup butter, cubed
3/4 cup thawed lemonade concentrate
1/3 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1-1/2 tsp prepared mustard
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted , optional

Directions:

Arrange orange slices in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes. Top with game hens; sprinkle with pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, place plums in a food processor; cover and process until smooth. Set aside. In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender; stir in lemonade concentrate, chili sauce, soy sauce, mustard, ginger, Worcestershire sauce and plums. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set 1 cup of sauce aside. Spoon remaining sauce over hens.
Bake 30-45 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Sprinkle with coconut if desired. Serve with reserved plum sauce. Yield: 4-6 servings.
