Cherry Marinated Cornish Hens

From midgelet 16 years ago

Poultry is delicious with cherries ! Chicken and duck also work out well. Be sure to let marinate 8 hrs or overnight

Drain the syrup from the cherries ..
Reserve cherries..
Place cherry syrup in a plastic ziplock bag with the 2 Cornish hens.
Seal and marinade hens ( turn bag occasionally to distribute syrup ) overnight in the refrigerator.
Bring hens to room temperature 1 hour before roasting.
Drain and pour syrup into the bottom of a roasting pan and place hens on a roast rack over the pan.
Place some cherries in the cavity of the hens, reserve the others for
garnish .
Season hens to taste and rub or brush all over with honey.
Roast hens 375F for about 1 hour or done.
Carefully remove hens to platter.
Spoon the pan syrup and drippings over the hens
and garnish with the reserved cherries and fresh chopped parsley.
