By á-389

Ingredients

• GLAZE:
• 2 cups seasoned stuffing croutons
• 5 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsp. butter, melted
• 2 Cornish game hens
• 1 envelope brown gravy mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup apricot preserves
• dash of ground cloves

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the croutons, water and butter. Loosely stuff into hens. Place breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; tie the drumsticks together.

In a small saucepan, combine the glaze ingredients. Bring to a boil. Spoon half over hens. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180 degrees for hens and 165 degrees for stuffing, basting occasionally with the remaining glaze.
