Oz ea)
1/4 c Butter; softened
1/2 ts (ea) salt & pepper
2 c Unsweetened apple juice

1 tb Dijon mustard

MMMMM-------------------------PECAN RICE------------------------------
2 tb Butter
1 1/2 c Uncooked long grain rice
2 ts Ground cumin
1 ts Curry powder
4 c Chicken broth
1 c Chopped pecans; toasted
3 Green onions; thin sliced
1/2 c Golden raisins

Tuck wings under hens; tie drumsticks together. Rub skin
with butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place hens
breast side up in a shallow roasting pan.

Bake, uncovered, @ 350ºF/175ºC for 1 hour. Meanwhile,
place apple juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil;
cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat. Stir in
honey and mustard. Set aside 1/2 cup for serving.

Brush hens with apple mixture. Bake, basting
occasionally with pan drippings, until a thermometer
reads 180°, 25-35 minutes longer. Cover hens loosely
with foil if they brown too quickly.

For pecan rice, heat butter in a large saucepan over
medium heat. Add rice, cumin and curry; cook and stir
until rice is lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Stir in
broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered,
until rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. Stir in pecans,
onions and raisins.

Cover hens; let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve
with rice and reserved sauce.
