    Ingredients

    • 2 c. Dry bread cubes
    • 1/2 c. Celery, sliced
    • 1/4 c. Onion, minced
    • 1/2 tsp Salt
    • 1/4 tsp Pepper
    • 1/4 tsp Marjoram leaves
    • 1/2 c. Apricot preserves
    • 1/4 c. Margarine
    • 2 Tbsp. White wine or possibly chicken broth
    • 4 x Cornish game hens
    • 1/2 c. Apricot preserves
    • 1/2 c. Margarine
    • 1/2 tsp Marjoram leaves

    Directions

    1. Heat oven to 375. In a medium bowl, stir together all stuffing ingredients EXCEPT preserves, margarine and wine.
    2. In a small saucepan, heat preserves, margarine, and wine or possibly chicken broth.
    3. Stir into stuffing mix.
    4. Stuff hens, and secure opening with a toothpick. Tuck under wings of hen.
    5. Place hens, breast side up, in a roasting pan.
    6. Bake for 1 hour.
    7. Meanwhile, in a pan, combine all the glaze ingredients, cooking over medium heat until melted, about 2-3 min. Brush hens with half the sauce after about 1 hour of cooking. Continue to brush sauce on, every 15 - 20 min.
    8. Continue baking hens for 40 - 50 min, or possibly till hens are fork tender.
    9. Loosely cover with foil if hens are browning too quickly.
    10. NOTES : You may leave out the stuffing, but this would probably decrease the baking time.
