Instructions: Preheat oven to 400F. Remove giblets from game hens. Pat game hens dry.

Tie legs of each game hen together to hold shape. Place game hens in large roasting pan. Combine olive oil, Sherry wine vinegar, honey, ground

cumin, aniseed and ground cinnamon in heavy medium saucepan. Simmer until

mixture thickens slightly, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Remove glaze from heat. Brush some of glaze over game hens. Sprinkle game hens generously with salt and pepper. Roast until last drops of juices run clear when thighs are pierced, basting every 10 minutes with glaze, about 55 minutes. Transfer game hens to plates and serve.

Serves 8.
