2 Cornish hens
water
1 cup of butter, melted
1/2 tablespoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon nutmeg
1/2 tablespoon ginger
1/2 tablespoon ground thyme
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
Thaw hens overnight. Wash hens in warm water. Mix remaining ingredients together in butter. Baste hens with 1/2 of mixture. Fill crockpot with water until bottom is about 1/4 full. If crockpot is not big enough for two hens, you may place in two separate ones. Just half recipe for each hen. Place hens inside crockpot. Spread remaining mixture over hens. Turn on low. Cook for 8 hours or until done. If you will be gone less than eight hours, you may turn crockpot on high. Hens will be done in four hours or so. When removing from crockpot, be careful. Hens will be very tender and tend to fall off the bones.
