This Cornish game hen recipe was always made X-Mas Eve along with baked vegetables. After we all had our fill, the family members would each get to open a special gift, and when we were done we put cookies out for Santa and went to bed. Next day we had our home-smoked ham. Really Neat Childhood Memory.
