Steps:
- Heat oven to 400ºF. Tie game hens' legs together, rub each hen with 1⁄2 tsp oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in stovetop-safe roasting pan.
- Roast hens 40 minutes. Melt 1⁄2 cup preserves; brush hens with some. Roast 10 minutes; brush again with melted preserves. Roast 10 minutes more until instant-read thermometer reads 165°F.
- Remove hens to serving platter; tent with foil. Whisk 1 cup water, the sauce mix and the remaining preserves into drippings in roasting pan. Place over medium heat, stir to dissolve browned bits and simmer until a bit thickened. Use kitchen shears to cut hens in half; serve with sauce.
