Doves Bake.

6 Doves

Salt

Pepper

6 sl Lemon; seeded (thin slices)

6 sl Bacon; about 2" long

1 can Chicken broth, clear

1 cup Cream, heavy; slightly sour Clean birds very carefully. Rub inside and out with salt and pepper, and place a slice of lemon inside each bird. Tie slice of bacon over the breast of each bird. Arrange in a buttered baking dish, add broth, and bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, basting often. When birds and gravy are a rich brown, pour cream over birds. Return to oven and let cream bubble up in pan about 1 minute, basting twice with sauce. Serve with gravy from the pan.
