Preparation:

Cut hens in half lengthwise. Wash, and reserve giblets for another use. Combine remaining ingredients, except margerine, in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat. Simmer for 2 minutes. Place hens, skin side down, in a shallow roasting pan.

Brush with melted margerine, then with the sauce. Roast in a preheated 350° F oven for 30 minutes, burshing often with the sauce.

Turn hens skin side up for another 30 minutes, brushing often with the sauce. Be sure to bake uncovered.

***My personal notes say that I tried this for the first time October, 1995 for a company meal and it was a big hit. I do know that I've used it really often, especially with chicken pieces. It doesn't call for weird stuff that requires a trip to the grocery…uses stuff most of us have on hand.
