4 (1 lb.) ready to cook Rock Cornish game hens
1/3 c. butter, melted
1/4 c. canned condensed consomme
1/4 c. light corn syrup

Season hens inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff each with 1/4 cup stuffing if desired. Place breast up on rack in shallow roasting pan and brush well with butter. Tie leg on each hen with string. Roast uncovered in hot oven, 400 degrees, about 45 minutes or until tender. During last 15 minutes of baking time, baste several times with mixture of consomme and syrup. Serves 4. (Rather than stuffing the hens we prefer serving them on a bed of wild rice.)
