2		Cornish game hens -, 1 1/2
		lbs thawed if frozen
		Salt
		Ground black pepper
1	T	Orange juice
1/3	c	Orange juice, divided
1/2	c	Currant jelly
1	t	Ground cinnamon, divided
3	c	Whole-wheat bread cubes –
		about 4 slices
2		Peaches, peeled chopped
1/4	c	Pecans, coarsely chopped
1	ds	Ground cloves

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash hens; pat dry. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper.
Twist wing tips under back and tie legs to tail. We cooked in a
covered gas grill over medium heat, but we see no reason you cannot
use a preheated 350 degree oven. If using the grill, place the hens
breast-sides up on a rack in a roasting pan. Cover and grill for 1
hour and 15 minutes. While the birds are cooking, make the glaze by
combining 1 tablespoon orange juice with the currant jelly and 1/2
teaspoon cinnamon. In the last 20 minutes of cooking, brush the hens  2
or 3 times with the glaze, being sure to turn over to coat the  back.
Also add the dressing for the last 20 minutes. To make the  dressing,
combine in a medium bowl the bread cubes, peaches, pecans,  remaining
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and cloves. Add remaining 1/3 cup  orange juice,
stirring until the bread is moistened. Place on a  double-thick
wrapping of aluminum foil. Fold the edges over to cover  the dressing,
but leave a little space for the dressing to expand as  it cooks.
Refrigerate until ready to cook. If you have a rack on your  grill,
place the dressing there. Otherwise, place it in the pan next  to the
birds. The recipe will serve two, probably with enough left  over for
the next day's lunch. You can substitute apples and apple  juice for
the peaches and orange juice.  Recipe Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch -
