4 tablespoons honey
4 cloves minced garlic

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash the hens and pat dry. Mix together rum, lime juice, honey, garlic, and a teaspoon of salt. Rub mixture over hens and marinate them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Transfer hens from marinade to a baking dish and pour remaining marinade over hens. Sprinkle outside of hens with remaining salt, pepper, and coriander. Roast hens for 35-40 minutes, or until done. Baste frequently with juices from bottom of baking dish.
