Cornish Game Hens With Peach-Lime Glaze Recipe - Cooking Index
| 3 | Cornish game hens - (abt 2 lbs ea) - split in halves | |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Salt |
| 1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Freshly-ground black pepper |
| 1/2 cup | 99g / 3.5oz | Steeles sugar-free peach champagne jam |
| 1/3 cup | 78ml | Fresh lime juice |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Grated lime rind |
| 3 | Garlic cloves - pressed | |
| 3 tablespoons | 45ml | Soy sauce |
| 1/2 | Sugar substitute |
With a sharp butcher's knife, remove backbones from hen halves. Rinse and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, mix jam, lime juice, lime rind, garlic, soy sauce and sugar substitute. Add hens, toss to coat. Marinate 1 hour, turning occasionally.
Prepare a medium grill. Remove hens from glaze; reserve glaze. Place hens skin-side down on greased grill grate, not directly over heat. Cover and cook 25 minutes, until no longer pink inside and juices run clear.
Put reserved glaze in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil for 1 full minute. Place hens directly over heat source for 5 minutes, and brush with glaze for a crispy skin.

Description:
"A brief marinating time tenderizes these little birds and imparts a sweet-tart flavor. Removing the backbone ensures shorter grilling time and more even cooking."
