Pomegranate Glazed Cornish Game Hens

I eagerly went to find this recipe from the coupon section of the paper, thinking it was a persimmon recipe I could share with Leaflady in http://davesgarden.com/t/410731/ -- Oops, turns out it was for pomegranates. Here's the recipe, anyway!

2 rock cornish game hens
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. thyme
2 tbsp. pomegranate arils*
Juice from 3 pomegranates (10 oz. juice)

* The arils are the little encapsulated fruit sections.

MAKE GLAZE: To juice pomegranate, slice in half crosswise and use a citrus juicer. In stainless steel saucepan, simmer juice with pinch of salt until reduced to a syrupy glaze (about 10 minutes).
