Instructions for Apricot-Glazed Cornish Hens

Heat oven to 375. In a medium bowl, stir together all stuffing ingredients EXCEPT preserves, margarine and wine. In a small saucepan, melt preserves, margarine, and wine or chicken broth. Stir into stuffing mix. Stuff hens, and secure opening with a toothpick. Tuck under wings of hen. Place hens, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Bake for 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a pan, combine all the glaze ingredients, cooking over medium heat till melted, about 2-3 minutes. Brush hens with half the sauce after about 1 hour of cooking. Continue to brush sauce on, every 15 - 20 minutes. Continue baking hens for 40 - 50 minutes, or until hens are fork tender. Loosely cover with foil if hens are browning too quickly.
