Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°.
Combine first 6 ingredients and salt and pepper to taste, in a glass baking dish. Spoon marinade into cavities of birds and pour rest over tops. Refrigerate hens for at least 2 hours.
When ready to cook, remove hens from refrigerator. Reserve marinade. Brush hens with olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes, basting several times.
Meanwhile, pour marinade into a saucepan. Add remaining 3 ingredients. Boil until sauce thickens (about 20 minutes).
Reduce oven temperature to 375°. Spoon sauce over hens and continue roasting for approximately 20 minutes or until cooked through.
