Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 1/2 lbs hot italian sausage
• 1 1/2 lbs sweet italian sausage
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 6 -7 cups red seedless grapes or 6 -7 cups green seedless grapes, stems removed
• 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 500°.
• 2 parboil the sausages in water to cover for 8 minutes, to rid them of excess fat.
• 3 melt the butter in a large roasting pan; add the grapes; toss to coat.
• 4 with tongs, transfer the parboiled sausages to the roasting pan and push them down into the grapes so the sausages will not brown too quickly.
• 5 roast in the oven, turning sausages once, until the grapes are soft and the sausages have browned, 20-25 minutes.
• 6 with a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages and grapes to a heated serving platter.
• 7 place the roasting pan on top of the stove over med-high heat and add the balsamic vinegar; scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the roasting pan, and let the vinegar and juices reduce until they are thick and syrupy.
• 8 pour the sauce over the sausages and grapes; serve immediately.
