--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4                    Cornish game hens
  4                    Tangerines, peeled,
                       -seeded, & chopped
  1       c            Fresh squeezed orange juice
    1/4   c            Zinfandel wine
  1       t            Or salt to taste
  4       tb           Butter
    1/4   c            Minced onion
    1/4   c            Mushrooms chopped
  4       tb           Pecans chopped
  1       t            Soy sauce
  1                    Clove garlic minced
  1       tb           * honey

 *NOTE: optional Rinse hens and pat dry. Mix wine, soy sauce, salt,
 honey & orange juice together. Rub 1 Tblpsn butter inside each hen.
 Sprinkle the cavity with salt. Mix the onion, garlic, pecans,
 mushrooms, & tangerines together. Stuff each hen with this mixture.
 Heat the liquid mixture until it begins to boil. Turn off & let cool
 for 5 minutes. Pour 2 Tblspns of this into each hen. Preheat oven to
 325 degrees F then bake hens for 45 minutes. Be sure to baste every
 10 minutes with the liquid mixture. Test birds...if not done....cook
 until done. **NOTE** I have used this same thing on chickens too as
 well Guinea hens. All came out well as did the quail I used it with.
