Due to the lack of tripe at some stores.......

We're having this tonight instead.
Great news is when we lived in Anchorage my husband and I picked large quantities of currants and made really large quantities of very tasty currant jelly. I now still have approximately 4 jars of it so this recipe allows me to use some of that up.

Category: Cornish Game Hen
Serves/Makes: 2 Difficulty Level: 3 Ready In: 1-2 hrs
Ingredients:
2 Cornish hens
1/3 cup Fresh parsley -- finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Salt Pepper -- to taste
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup Red currant jelly
1/2 cup Brandy
Directions:
Rinse hens in cold water and pat dry. Combine parsley, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup butter. Mix well. Stuff cavity of hens with parsley mixture and secure well. Place hens in a 9x9 pan breast side up. Rub hens with 1/4 cup butter. Bake for 30 minutes at 375F. In a small saucepan, combine jelly and brandy. Cook over low heat until jelly melts. Pour over hens and cook an additional 30 minutes. Baste frequently

I figure I'm going to change this somewhat and also stuff the cavity full of wild rice. We'll see how it turns out.
