Grapefruit Cornish Hens

Provided by:

Southwest Family Citrus and Spenar Family

Ingredients:

3 Rock Cornish game hens, halved and backbones removed
1/4 c. mint jelly
1 c. freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1/3 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/3 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 T. Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
3-5 grapefruit slices for garnish

Directions:

Place the halves bone side down. With the heel of your hand, press on each breast, flattening it. Tuck the tip of the wing under the breast. Make a small slit in the skin between the breast and thigh. Stick the end of the leg through the slit. Then, place the hens in a non-reactive bowl just large enough to hold them. Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl (except grapefruit slices). Pour the marinade over the hens; cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours. To cook over charcoal: Grill the hens skin side down for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn and grill another 15 minutes, basting occasionally. To broil in the oven: Put the hens in the broiler 4 inches from the flame under moderately-high heat for about 15 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the marinade. Garnish with grapefruit slices.
