Tuscan Grapes and Sausages
Ingredients:
- 8 uncooked Italian sausage links (4 ounces each), hot or mild
- 2-1/2 pounds seedless green or red grapes, or a mixture
- 20 to 30 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
- 2 tablespoons of Arizona Gunslinger Red Jalapeno Pepper Sauce
- 1/2 cup melted butter, divided
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450°. Place sausage links in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until no longer pink and some fat has been rendered, 20-25 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-in. slices.
- Meanwhile, remove grape stems; place grapes and garlic in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Add 2 tablespoons Arizona Gunslinger Red Jalapeno Pepper Sauce and 6 tablespoons butter; toss to coat. Top with sausage slices. Bake until sausage is browned, 15-20 minutes, stirring once.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage mixture to a serving dish. Keep warm. Transfer cooking juices to a small saucepan; add balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat.
- Stir in remaining butter; cook until slightly thickened. Drizzle over sausage and grapes.
