8 Cornish Hens
24 oz orange juice
3 tbsp sugar
½ cup dry sherry
2 naval oranges, chopped
1 tbsp orange zest
¼ cup butter
salt and pepper , to taste
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
Cook hens in the oven at 350 degrees F for approximately 35 to 45 minutes depending on size.
At same time, combine orange juice, sugar, sherry, oranges, orange zest, butter and salt and pepper in a small sauce pan.
Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Combine cornstarch and water together, mix well and add to orange juice mixture.
Simmer until thickened.
Pour orange sauce over cooked hens and serve.
If you cannot tolerate alcohol then substitute apple cider for the sherry. It does not have the same flavor but will add some flavor and liquid to the sauce.
