Cornish Hen in Port Wine and Fig Preserves
Cornish game hens are just the right size to serve two people and nestle into the slow cooker with ease. Port wine is an excellent ingredient for slow cookers, as it always provides a little richer color for the ingredients. Preserves, jams, and jellies are handy ingredients to create easy sauces for poultry and meats. For a darker skin, baste the hen during cooking with sauce from the bottom of the slow cooker.
