Rock Cornish Game Hens in Raspberry Sauce
The original recipe was for quail and although I liked it I felt that it suited Cornish Hens better. (and quail can be rather expensive)

These will appeal to you if you are a fan of crisp fried chicken. They are quick fried in peanut oil.
I saw these made on television last night and the recipe really intrigued me. They were originally made by wives for their husbands to take to work out in the fields or mines. They are a whole meal-in-one pastry making them both sweet and savory. Maybe they are the original TV dinner LOL. The crust would be more authentic and tastier using lard, but taste better using the lard/butter combo. The wives would also make some of the pastry into letters and apply to the top of the clanger their husband’s initials so they were easy to identify. They can be made with chicken as well.
Apples are nice whether dessert or an accompaniment to white meat. Serve this with steamed vegetables or roasted baby potatoes on the skin.
From Simca’s Cuisine. This recipe says it serves 6 and it calls for 3 hens. I like to serve 1 hen per person so for me this recipe would serve only 3. I haven’t tried this yet but I love the way it sounds and the preperation is simple.
