Apple Glazed Cornish Hens
Ingredients
2 cornish hens
6 ounces unsweetened apple juice concentrate, undiluted
1-1/2 Tbsp. water
1-1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 medium lemon, sliced
Cooking Instructions
Remove giblets from hens and discard. Rinse hens under cold water and pat dry. Using a long, sharp knife, split the hens lengthwise. Place the hens, cavity side up, in a roasting pan. Dilute 1/4 cup of the apple juice concentrate with the water. Pour juice over the hens. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes. Turn breast side up. In a small pan over medium heat, combine the remaining apple juice concentrate, cornstarch and cinnamon; mix well. Add 2 lemon slices and continue cooking until thickened. Remove from heat and brush hens with the sauce. Return the hens to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes. Transfer the hens to a serving platter and garnish with remaining lemon slices.
For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,? says the Lord, who has compassion on you.(Isaiah 54:10)
