Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

4 Cornish game hens
4 Tangerines, peeled,
-seeded, chopped
1 c Fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4 c Zinfandel wine
1 ts Or salt to taste
4 tb Butter
1/4 c Minced onion
1/4 c Mushrooms chopped
4 tb Pecans chopped
1 ts Soy sauce
1 Clove garlic minced
1 tb * honey

*NOTE: optional Rinse hens and pat dry. Mix wine, soy sauce, salt,
honey orange juice together. Rub 1 Tblpsn butter inside each hen.
Sprinkle the cavity with salt. Mix the onion, garlic, pecans,
mushrooms, tangerines together. Stuff each hen with this mixture.
Heat the liquid mixture until it begins to boil. Turn off let cool
for 5 minutes. Pour 2 Tblspns of this into each hen. Preheat oven to
325 degrees F then bake hens for 45 minutes. Be sure to baste every
10 minutes with the liquid mixture. Test birds...if not done....cook
until done. **NOTE** I have used this same thing on chickens too as
well Guinea hens. All came out well as did the quail I used it with.
