prunes, apricots, olives, capers (with juice) and bay leaves. Cover and
refrigerate overnight to marinate.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange game hens in 1 or 2 shallow
roasting pans. Spoon all the marinade over the hens. Sprinkle evenly with
brown sugar and pour wine around them. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, basting

Moisten with pan juices and sprinkle with parsley. Pass remaining pan
juices in a sauce boat.
NOTES:
* Cornish game hens stewed in fruit and sugar -- I originally got this
recipe from the Sunday magazine of the local paper. I served it last year
for Christmas dinner, and it's very good. What's more, this recipe is easy:
you just put everything in a bowl, marinate overnight, then bake until
done!
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 5 minutes preparation, overnight marinating, 1 hour cooking.
: Precision: approximate measurement OK.
