2 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1-1/2 hours

Ingredients

2 cups seasoned stuffing croutons
5 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 Cornish game hens (20 ounces each)
GLAZE:
1 envelope brown gravy mix
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup apricot preserves
Dash ground cloves

Directions

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