Holiday Cornish Game Hens
Ingredients
2 Cornish game hens
1 medium lemon, halved
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bacon, diced
1/4 pound ground pork
1/2 cup diced apples
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon chicken broth
Directions
Rub each Cornish hen inside and out with cut lemon. Sprinkle
each cavity with salt and pepper; set aside. In a small
skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove
to paper towels; drain, reserving drippings. In a saucepan,
cook the pork over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
Stir in the apple, raisins, broth and bacon. Loosely stuff
into hens; skewer openings and tie drumsticks together. In
the reserved drippings, brown hens on all sides. Place on a
rack in a shallow roasting pan. Tuck wings under hens. Bake,
uncovered, at 425 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until juices
run clear and a meat thermometer reads 180 degrees F.
