Ingredients:

Serving

2 cornish game hens (20 to 24 oz each)
1/2 tsp salt, divided
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple
3 cups cubed day-old bread (1/2-inch cubes), crusts removed
1 celery rib, chopped
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2/3 cup butter melted, divided
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
2 tbsp steak sauce
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 cup water
1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

Sprinkle inside of hens with 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple, bread cubes, celery and coconut. Add 6 tablespoons butter; toss to coat.
Loosely stuff hens; tie legs together with kitchen string. Place on a rack in a greased shallow roasting pan. Place remaining stuffing in a greased 1-1/2-cup baking dish; cover and set aside. Add poultry seasoning and remaining salt to remaining butter.
Spoon some butter mixture over hens. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40 minutes, basting twice with butter mixture.
Stir steak sauce and reserved pineapple juice into remaining butter mixture; baste hens. Bake reserved stuffing with hens for 30 minutes; baste hens twice.
Uncover stuffing; baste hens with remaining butter mixture. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 185° for hens and 165° for stuffing in hens.Remove hens from pan; keep warm.
Pour drippings into a saucepan, skim fat. Combine the cornstarch, brown sugar, water and lemon juice until smooth; add to the drippings. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with hens and stuffing. Yield: 2 servings.
