Directions
Cornish Game Hens With Peach Glaze, These are delicious cornish game hens, They take awhile to prepare , but, are worth it. I have tripled the recipe. these are a family favorite. I found the recipe some time ago on the web., used apricot jam. The “gravy” was simply delicious: not cloyingly sweet, not greasy from the butter, just smooth and flavorful. After brining, I let the hens marinate in the glaze for 2 hours or so before baking, as suggested by another reviewer. I believe I will kick it up next time with some brandy and a considerable amount of cayenne in the sauce. A brown and wild rice pilaf was a great fit. Thanks Barb!
