"This is from the Barefoot Contessa. I tweaked it a little bit substituting grape juice and red wine vinegar for the dry red wine. It is absolutely scrumptious!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Parboil the sausages in water to cover for 8 minutes to rid them of excess fat.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large heatproof roasting pan, add the grapes, and toss to coat. Over moderately high heat add the wine (or grape juice/red wine vinegar mixture). Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes until the wine has reduced by half.

Step 3

Using tongs, transfer the parboiled sausages to the roasting pan and push them down in the grapes so the sausages will not brown too quickly. Roast in the oven, turning the sausages once, until the grapes are soft and the sausages have browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 4

Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over a medium-high heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the roasting pan, and allow the vinegar and juices to reduce until they are thick and syrupy. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages and grapes to a serving platter. Pour the sauce over the sausages and grapes and serve immediately

I love to try recipies that combine different ingredients and this recipe did not let me down. Grapes and sausages? Come on! They are wonderful together. I used hot Italain sausages but otherwise followed the recipe cutting it back to 2 sausages. My grapes were very juicy. The last step with the balsamic vinegar did not get the juice reduced to syrupy, even after 10 minutes stove top. The sauce was thick enough and the flavour was wonderful. Thanks lovinretirement for a different lovely new recipe
