Cornish game hens are just the right size to make individual servings for your dinner guests, and they are so easy to prepare. In this video, you’ll get a simple but sensational recipe for roasted Cornish hens glazed with cranberry sauce. Canned cranberry sauce whisked with wine and lemon juice makes a sweet/tart glaze as well as a sauce to serve on the side, and springs of fresh rosemary add herby, earthy flavor. Perfect for holidays and other special occasions, but without the fuss of cooking large roasts.
