Directions:
- Cut the hens down the backbone (split).
- Brine the hens: dissolve the salt in water,put hens& salted water into large bowl.
- (I usually put them into a large plactic bag) refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
- Remove hens, Rinse thoroughly, pat dry, prick the skin allover the breast and legs with point of paring knife.
- Melt the butter in small pan& mix with preserves.
- Add salt, pepper& basil.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place hens in shallow pan (I usually line pan with foil for easy clean-up).
- Rub hens with butter.
- Spoon butter& preserve mixture over hens.
- Bake 35 to 45 minutes.
