Anybody got a good Cornish Game Hen recipe?

[B2G]

5. This is the best one I've ever had

Ingredients
4-6 Cornish Hens (substitute with split chicken breasts or one whole chicken)

6-8 cloves of garlic, slivered

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons chopped shallots

1/3 cup raspberry preserves

1 ½ teaspoons raspberry vinegar

1 ½ pints fresh organic raspberries (or more, however I always end up eating the other half pint while cooking)

Dash of port or red wine, I like to add about ¼ cup (optional)

Grated fresh ginger, about 1 teaspoon (optional)

Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 350F. Place the four Cornish hens in a large baking dish.

Season the cavity of each hen with salt and pepper. Divide the garlic slivers and place in the cavity of each hen.

Rub each hen with a little butter and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the baking dish in the oven.

The hens will need to cook for about 45 minutes, but the best way to test doneness is with a meat thermometer. When the thermometer reads 160F around the leg joint area the chicken will be done. Remove from the oven and let the hens sit for about 5 minutes.

In a sauce pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. When the butter is melted and frothy add the shallots and sauté until nicely wilted, about 2 minutes.

Whisk in the raspberry preserves, whisking until the preserves have melted and combined with the butter and shallots.

Whisk in the vinegar, and then add 1 pint of fresh raspberries. At this point, feel free to add the wine and ginger if using. I love a dash of port in this sauce!

Let the sauce come to a lively simmer and then take it off the heat.

Place each hen on a plate. Add another half pint of raspberries to the sauce and then ladle the sauce over each hen. Garnish with fresh chopped Italian parsley.

This dish is delicious served with a wild and brown rice, quinoa or couscous to soak up the chicken juices and sauce. Yum!
