Rock Cornish Hens with Ugli Fruit

Essential flavors and simple presentation: roasted hens with a sauce of reduced stock flavored with ugli fruit peel, juice, caramelized sugar, and vinegar, and garnished with the fresh fruit. Gauge the servings by knowing your diners.

If you want a crisp bird, you’ll need to plan a day in advance (see step 1).
