By Diana Rattray, About.com

Rock Cornish game hens cooked in the slow cooker, with raisins, butter, lemon juice, and spices.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (6 ounces) stuffing mix, prepared as directed
  • 4 Cornish game hens
  • salt and pepper

  • Raisin Sauce
  • 1 jar (10 ounces) currant jelly
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice

Preparation:

Stuff hens with prepared stuffing; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place trivet or crumpled piece of heavy-duty foil in slow cooker, to keep hens from sitting in juices. If you're using a deep and narrow crockpot, put Cornish hens in neck-side down. In a 1-quart saucepan combine jelly, raisins, butter, lemon juice and allspice. Cook over low heat, stirring, until hot and simmering. Brush some of the sauce on hens in the crockpot. Keep remaining sauce in refrigerator until serving time. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours, basting once about an hour before done. Bring remaining sauce to a boil and spoon over hens at serving time.
Makes 4 servings.
