Cornish Game Hens with Cherry Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine stuffing mix with the seasoning packet from the mix, water and 4 tbsp butter. (If using your own stuffing mixture omit these steps) stuff the hens and place in a baking dish.

In a small saucepan, combine the jelly, cherries and 2 tbsp butter, lemon juice, salt and allspice. Cook over low heat stirring until the jelly melts. Reserve 2/3 cup of the sauce and set aside.

Brush remaining sauce over hens and bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 1/2 hours or until the juices run clear.

Remove for baking dish and arrange on a warm platter-spoon the remaining sauce over the hens. The sauce can be strained and the cherries discarded if you like. I serve this with mashed potatoes (using the sauce over the potatoes) and a green vegetable.
