Got this on a card - right before Easter. Timing is everything! If the glaze tastes too tart I plan to add an equal amount of reduced orange juice with plenty of orange zest. Ingredients:
1 cup pomegranate juice (pom wonderful 100% juice) |
2 cornish hens (1 1/2 - 1 3/4 lbs each) |
vegetable oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/8 pepper |
2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Rinse hens, pat dry.
3. Set on roasting rack in oiled pan.
4. Tie legs together.
5. Roast uncovered 50 - 60 minutes - until juices run clear.
6. While hens roast, place juice in a small saucepan; sprinkle with a dash of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat & simmer 10 minutes. Set aside.
7. When hens are near done, brush them liberally with the glaze & roast for another 5 minutes. May repeat as you wish.
8. Place hens on a platter, optionally scatter 2 T arils (pomegranate seeds) across them & serve.
