APRICOT GINGER GAME HENS
These are wonderful to serve at a party. They look beautiful and taste even better. These should be marinated overnight; just place them into the oven before guests arrive and the work is done. Have the butcher cut the birds in half lengthwise for you, down the breast bone.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450. Using kitchen twine, tie hens legs together; tuck wing tips underneath. Rub hens with a total of 1 tablespoon oil and 3/4 teaspoon thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Place hens, breast side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil; let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
- While hens are roasting, make sauce: In a large skillet with a lid, heat remaining oil over medium; add onion and garlic, and cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine, and simmer until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth, cream, honey, lemon juice, and apricots; raise heat to high, and boil until mixture (including solids) is reduced to 2 cups, 12 to 15 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids. Return sauce to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, prepare couscous according to package instructions. Add remaining thyme, and season with salt and pepper; fluff with a fork. Halve hens; serve with couscous and sauce.
GLAZED CORNISH GAME HENS WITH APRICOT PISTACHIO DRESSING
Cornish game hens are festive and readily available. I've even made them the centerpiece of a holiday meal. These little birds cook much more quickly than other holiday roasts, such as lamb or ham. I normally figure on one hen (in the 1 1/2- to 2-pound range) to serve every two guests - especially if you also plan to have a first course and a dessert.

Steps:
- Brining the hens before roasting improves their flavor: Dissolve 2 cups of kosher salt in a clean bucket filled with 5 quarts of water. Add prepared hens and soak for 2 hours. Rinse thoroughly; pat dry.
- Adjust oven rack to upper middle position, and heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Saute onions until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in apricots, then spread mixture onto a large (about 18-by-12-inch) lipped cookie sheet. Lay hens over the mixture. Mix jam and vinegar, and brush all but a few tablespoons over hens.
- Bake hens, brushing 2 or 3 times with remaining jam mixture and accumulated pan juices, until hens are golden brown and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. Turn heat from bake to broil, then cook until hens are spotty brown, watching carefully so they don't burn, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer hens to a large platter with tongs, then cut in half at the breastbone to create individual servings.
- Return apricot dressing to the oven and broil to evaporate some of the excess liquid, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in pistachios and parsley. Spoon in a mound next to hens.

CORNISH GAME HENS WITH APRICOT-FIG STUFFING
*Recipe under Review* My much deliberated main course for a dinner party I hosted in April of 2008. The recipe inspiration came from the William Sonoma website, but the changes my version highlights more of the herb flavors, with the fruit as an accent, rather then vis-versa.

Steps:
- Hens:.
- Preheat an oven to 400°F
- Rinse the birds and pat dry.
- Rub inside and out with the salt and pepper, then with the sage/thyme and rosemary.
- Discard the herbs or, if you prefer, leave some of them clinging to the skin or tucked under the skin. (This is my preference).
- Stuffing:.
- Place half of the bread chunks in a large bowl mixed with the dried figs and apricots, rosemary, thyme, walnuts, salt and pepper and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add the boiling water and pour the mixture over the stuffing mixture, turning it to soak all the pieces, about 10 minutes.
- Mix stuffing well with your hands, forming a bit of a 'paste'.
- Remove 1/2 cup of the paste and set aside.
- Add the remainder of the bread chunks to the main stuffing mixture and stir lightly to incorporate.
- Spoon 1/4 to 1/3 cup stuffing into the cavity of each bird. Do not pack the cavities too full.
- Gently slip your fingers between the skin and the meat of the breast to make a pocket, and tuck some of the 'paste' stuffing under the skin and gently massage the breast of the bird to even it out.
- Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wings under the breasts.
- Place the birds, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 35 minutes.
- Glaze:.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the jam and vinegar and heat, stirring occasionally, until a syrup forms, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the birds from the oven and, using a pastry brush, coat them with the glaze.
- Return the birds to the oven and roast until the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with the tip of a knife, about 20 - 30 minutes more.
- Remove the birds from the oven, garnish with rosemary sprigs and serve. Serves 4.
