3 Cornish hens
2 pkg. dried apricots
Orange juice
Salt
butter
Cornstarch

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thaw and clean out Cornish hens. Salt slightly inside. Stuff cavity of hens with apricots. Line casserole with foil and put hens into baking dish. Pour 3/4 cup juice into each cavity (it runs out; that's OK) and top with foil or lid.

Bake 45 minutes and then remove foil or lid and baste with melted butter for another 15 minutes or until brown and tender. Cut each hen in half with a sharp knife and serve hot. Juice can be thickened with a tablespoon cornstarch and pour this glaze on top of meat. Serves 6. 1/2 hen per serving.
