Ingredients:  
2 medium sized game hens
10 oz. currant jelly (or 1 cup)

Directions:
FOR GAME HENS
Preheat oven to 325º. Stuff game hens with cooked wild rice. Cook for about 1 hour, until golden, basting several times with melted butter. After 30 or 45 minutes, baste with currant-port wine glaze, too.

FOR GLAZE:
Put currant jelly in sauce pan, and cook at low heat until liquefied. Add port wine, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper and reduce to a slightly viscous glaze. Making too much is fine--you can use it on the rice.

Personal Notes:
This is one of my favorite family recipes. Libby always used Uncle Ben's Wild Rice, and it really is best. Currant jelly can be hard to find--cranberry jam will work in a pinch, but add a little brown sugar to sweeten.
