Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup grand marnier or other orange liqueur
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 large limes)
2 tbsp sugar
two 2 1/2- to 3-lb pheasants ( preferably wild scottish)
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tsp dried thyme, crumbled
2 bay leaves
vegetable oil for brushing pheasants
1/2 cup pitted dates, chopped

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut off legs of pheasants and reserve for another use. Sprinkle pheasants inside and out with pepper and salt to taste. Put 1 teaspoon thyme and 1 bay leaf in cavity of each pheasant and close cavities with skewers or toothpicks so that pheasants hold their shape.

Turn pheasants over and to pan add apricots, wine mixture, and dates. Roast pheasants, adding about 1/2 cup water if all liquid evaporates, 25 minutes more, or until thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast registers 160°F. Let pheasants stand 10 minutes.
Transfer pheasants to a cutting board and cut each in half. Serve pheasants with apricot date sauce and garnish with thyme.
