Grapes are currently in season and at their best. They are huge, juicy, and very sweet. The prices are also lowest at this time and I usually buy two to three pounds each week. I like to get a mix of green, red, and black grapes. They make wonderful snacks and are great for the bento boxes.

Although we eat a lot of grapes, I have never thought of cooking with them until now. I have seen quite a few recipes but this one combining Italian sausages and grapes over at Pam’s Midwest Kitchen Korner caught my eye. I really like the idea of the balsamic vinegar and red wine reduction sauce over the Roasted Italian Sausage with Grapes and Apples.

Pam used a combination of red and green grapes but said that the color and type really did not matter. I used black grapes as it was the only variety I had on hand then. As I did not have enough grapes, I added two Honeycrisp apples. The preparation was a breeze with store bought fully cooked all natural sweet Italian sausages. I also roasted some sweet potato squashes and my favorite squash for the season, in the same oven. Dinner was ready in under 45 minutes. It was delicious! I like the slightly tangy sauce on the sweet fruits and sausages. This Roasted Italian Sausage with Grapes and Apples recipe is definitely a keeper!

    I think I am going to cook this dish this weekend as I am very sure it will be a hit. I have done a pork and apple braise with Dijon mustard and my family loves it very much every time it was served. To use sausages, apples and the balsamic and wine reduction would be better. I look forward to trying this out. Thanks!

    This is a great one Biren. I love the idea of pairing fruits with meat. It helps to cut down the heaviness of a meaty meal.

    Such in interesting, unique, and delicious looking dish, Biren!
    I love Italian sausage, but have never tried it with roasted grapes, and apples. Love the combination of the sweet, tart, and savory! I think it’s a good balance combining it with the fruits, instead of a starch, ie: potatoes. Great job!

    I just recently discovered the black grapes and just love them. I have to say I would never have thought of cooking them either. I usually just eat them, or add them to salads. Great idea!

    I make a similar recipe with slight changes which enhances this recipe…you will be saying, “DELICIOUS!” if you try my suggestions: Ingredients; 1 1/2 lbs Italian mild sausages with 1/2 chopped onion, 4 cups green and red seedless grapes, 1/2 cup white wine, 1/2 apple with skin and seasoned with salt, pepper and oregano. It was marvelous. Do not prick the sausages until after they brown and do not over cook. The grapes should still have a slight crunch!
