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.
