POM Glazed Cornish Game Hen

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Rinse hens; pat dry. Place hens breast-side up on a roasting rack in an oiled roasting pan. Tie legs together with kitchen string. Brush hens lightly with oil; sprinkle with salt, thyme and pepper. Roast, uncovered, for 50 to 60 minutes or until tender and no longer pink, and juices run clear. Prepare garnish - Place juice in a small saucepan; sprinkle with a dash of salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Set aside. When hens are done, brush them liberally with some of the juice glaze. Roast 5 minutes more. Place hens on a serving platter; sprinkle with the reserved arils. Pass remaining glaze to spoon over each serving. Serve this pomegranate recipe.
