Raspberry Cornish Game Hens*

Sounds YUMOLA to me!!
(serves 2)

2 Cornish game hens*
1 12 oz. jar seedless raspberry preserves
3 T. raspberry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 t. Dijon mustard
1 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice*
2 T. minced garlic* chives

Wash and pat dry game hens (remove giblets!!*). In a small saucepan, mix together raspberry preserves, vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 2 mins. Cool. Put the hens in a large zip lock bag and pour marinade (saving a little for basting) over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Place hens on a rack in a roasting pan in the oven (preheated to 350), and sprinkle with the chives. Baste with marinade a few times during the cooking process. Or you can do these on a rotisserie or on the grill over indirect eat, covered. Roast or grill at least an hour or until an instant read thermometer reads 160. Let rest 10 mins. before serving. I think a crisp wedge salad and a warm baguette would go very nicely with these hens. Dine al fresco!!
