Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

  2. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Place the sausages in the boiling water and let them cook for 8 minutes. This will remove excess fat.

  3. In a large heatproof roasting pan, melt the butter. Add the grapes to the pan and coat them with the melted butter.

  4. Pour the wine into the pan over moderately high heat. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture for a few minutes, until the wine reduces by half.

  5. Using tongs, transfer the parboiled sausages to the roasting pan. Push them down into the grapes so that they don't brown too quickly.

  6. Place the roasting pan in the oven and roast the sausages and grapes for 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the sausages once during cooking to ensure even browning.

  7. Take the roasting pan out of the oven and place it on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan. Use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Let the vinegar and juices reduce until they become thick and syrupy.

  8. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages and grapes to a serving platter.

  9. Pour the thickened sauce over the sausages and grapes. Serve immediately with fresh bread.
