Ingredients

Cornish Hen:

4 Cornish Hens

2 Tablespoons butter, melted

Pecan Stuffing:

4 T. butter

1/4 c. onion, chopped

1/2 t. salt

1 1/2 c. cooked white rice

1/2 c. pecan halves

Port Wine Sauce:

1/4 c. butter

1/4 c. minced onion

3 T. flour

1 T. chicken bouillon granules or 3 chicken bouillon cubes

3 T. currant jelly

1 c. dark sweet cherries, drained and pitted

3/4 c. port wine

1 c. water

Directions

Cornish Hens:

Brush the hens with butter and dredge with flour. Stuff the cavities with Pecan Stuffing (see below) but do not pack. Place uncovered in a 450 degree oven for 45 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a heated serving platter. Serve with Port Wine Sauce (see below).

Pecan Stuffing:

Saute the onion in butter. Add the other ingredients. Toss lightly.

Port Wine Sauce:

Cook the onion in butter, stirring until tender; remove from the heat. Stir in the flour, chicken bouillon, currant jelly and water. Cook, stirring over medium heat until thickened. Add the wine and cherries and heat just to boiling, stirring gently so as not to hurt the cherries.

You might be able to skip the flour if you use more port and let it cook down very very slowly ahead of time until it gets kind of syrupy. Then you could mix in your other ingredients and achieve essentially the same kind of richness without the need for a thickening agent. Just a thought. Port reduces extremely well.
