INSTRUCTIONS
STUFFING
BASTING SAUCE
In a saucepan, combine the rice, bouillon, lemon juice, turmeric, cinnamon,
cloves and pepper. Stir in water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover
and simmer about 25 minutes or until liquid is absorbed; remove from heat.
Stir in honey, butter, raisins and nuts. Season cavities of hens with salt;
lightly stuff with rice mixture; fasten necks closed with toothpicks. Place
hens breast side up in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with oil, cover
loosely with foil and bake at 375F for 30 minutes. For basting sauce,
combine lemon juice and butter. Remove foil and discard; baste hens with
lemon butter. Return hens to oven and bake, about 45 minutes longer,
basting every 15 minutes, or until done.
Yield: 4 Servings
