Title: Plum-Glazed Butterflied Quail
Categories: Poultry Game
Yield: 4 Servings

12		Quail; thawed if frozen
2	tb	Butter or Margarine
1/3	c	Plum Jam
1/4	ts	Basil Leaves; dried
1	tb	Red Wine Vinegar
		Salt
		Pepper

Rinse quail and pat dry. Cut through backbone of each bird with poultry shears or a knife. Place quail, skin-side up, on a flat surface and press down firmly, cracking bones slightly, until birds lie flat. In a 2 to 3 cup pan, combine butter, jam, and basil; stir over medium heat until jam melts. Blend in vinegar and set aside.

Place birds, skin-side up, on a grill 4-6" above a solid bed of hot coals. Cook, turning occasionally, until skin is browned and breast meat is still pink at bone, (cut to test) 8-10 minutes total. During the last 5 minutes on the grill, baste with the jam mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
