Preheat oven to 400° F.

Rub with - lemon juice

Bake approximately 45 minutes or until well browned.

Serve on / with black current sauce.

Black Current Sauce

Per hen, combine in a small sauce pan:

1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Simmer until reduced to 2 tablespoons.

Add 1/3 cup black current jam (I use Danish Orchards).

Heat until warm.

Just before serving, stir in 1 - 2 tablespoons of Venturi Schulze balsamic vinegar.

Sauce is sufficient for 1 Cornish game hen (just). Increase sauce for additional servings.
The sauce also works well with grilled halibut.
