INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Season the game hens inside and out with salt
and pepper and stuff the cavities with 4 grapes apiece. Place in a roasting
pan and roast in the oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally with the sherry,
until the drumsticks move easily and the birds are golden brown. If
necessary, add a little water to the pan juices to prevent them from
getting too dark. Remove the birds to a warm platter. Skim fat from the pan
juices and stir in the chicken stock, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Bring to
a boil and add the remaining grapes; let juices reduce slightly. Cut the
hens in half and pass the sauce separately. Makes 4 servings.
