Honey Tips
Honey Bees Need Water
To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.
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.
