Instructions:
Instructions: 269.2 Calories per serving. 40 CFF. However, that is probably a high estimate on calories, since you can drain off a lot of the liquids (butter, jelly, wine, orange juice, hen juices, etc.) after it is done cooking and reduce the calorie count further. This wasnt originally in the crockpot, but I have made them in the crockpot ok. Russ.

Brown hens in butter. Place in large baking dish or roasting pan. Melt jelly over low heat and set aside. Add cornstarch to drippings in skillet; blend. Stir in jelly, wine, orange juice and salt. Cook, stirring, until smooth. Pour sauce over hens and bake, covered, at 350 for 1 hour. Add grapes and bake about 10 minutes until grapes are warm. Good with rice.

Original recipe was for 6. I decreased the proportions down to 2.
