- Clean hens well under cool water. Pat dry.
- In a large bowl, combine hens, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, vinegar, oil, prunes, apricots, olives, capers (with juice) and bay leaves. Cover and chill overnight to marinate.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange game hens in 1 or possibly 2 shallow roasting pans. Spoon all the marinade over the hens. Sprinkle proportionately with brown sugar and pour wine around them. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hrs, basting frequently, till golden brown. Juice should look clear when thigh is pricked with a fork. Transfer hens, fruit, olives and capers to a serving platter.
- Moisten with pan juices and sprinkle with parsley. Pass remaining pan juices in a sauce boat.
- NOTES:* Cornish game hens stewed in fruit and sugar - I originally got this for Christmas dinner, and it's very good. What's more, this recipe is easy: you just put everything in a bowl, marinate overnight, then bake till done!
- Difficulty: easy.
- Time: 5 min preparation, overnight marinating, 1 hour cooking.
- Precision: approximate measurement OK.
