How many of you have made Cornish Hens? I admit, I have never made one, but my daughter Shelly makes them from time to time for the family to enjoy. Today we have a guest-post recipe for those of you who are looking for something different to make for family dinners or for a special occasion. The recipe is courtesy of THE COCOA EXCHANGE and only requires 5 ingredients.

This combination of flavors sounds very interesting. I have not yet bought Pod & Bean products but they do seem to be very promising.
My Mother used to bake Cornish Hens occasionally. I remember how good they were. I think I will try this recipe soon.
I am intrigued by the Blackberry Chipotle Sauce. Would like to try it.
I haventmade acornish hen in years, I mean literally.I am thinking when I red skinned up there, maybe youre supposed to skin them and I know I sure didnt. This is an interesting combo of flavors with blueberry and mustard. I havent heard of that brand of spice, but I bet you could substitute what you have on hand.
This sounds great. I have not heard of Pod & Bean™ Stone Ground Mustard and Blackberry Chipotle Sauce. I will have to find it. Thank you for the recipe.
