Roasted Sausages And Grapes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Preheat oven to 500\u00b0.
Parboil the sausages in water to cover for 8 minutes, to rid them of excess fat.
Melt the butter in a large roasting pan; add the grapes; toss to coat.
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.
Roast in the oven, turning sausages once, until the grapes are soft and the sausages have browned, 20-25 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages and grapes to a heated serving platter.
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.
Pour the sauce over the sausages and grapes; serve immediately.
