Peach Glazed Pheasant

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Brush the pheasant with the butter and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Wrap the pheasant pieces tightly in foil and place in a shallow baking pan.

Place the pheasant in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until it registers about 155 degrees F on a meat thermometer.

Meanwhile, combine the peaches and their liquid, the sugar, peach brandy, and cinnamon in a blender and process until smooth. Place the glaze mixture in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook until thickened.

Remove the pheasant from the oven and remove the foil. Brush the pheasant pieces with the glaze and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Brush the pheasant again with the glaze and let cook for another 5 minutes or until the pheasant reaches 160-165 degrees F.

Serve the pheasant with the remaining glaze.
