This is fabulous for company, my all time favorite. I have made this for years. I thought I lost it when I moved, thank heavens for this site.
1. Rinse hens and pat dry with paper towel. Tie legs together and tuck wings behind back of each bird. Season outside of hens lightly with salt and pepper. Place hens in a shallow pan.
2. Combine tarragon, preserves and liqueur or juice in blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
3. Roast hens at 400 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes, brushing several times with glaze while roasting.
