Mix the onion, garlic, pecans, mushrooms, & tangerines together. Stuff each hen with this mixture. Heat the liquid mixture until it begins to boil. Turn off & let cool for 5 minutes. Pour 2 Tblspns of this into each hen. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F then bake hens for 45 minutes. Be sure to baste every

10 minutes with the liquid mixture. Test birds...if not done....cook

until done. **NOTE** I have used this same thing on chickens too as well Guinea hens. All came out well as did the quail I used it with. Origin: Don Houston's kitchen...circa 1970-something!
