Italian sausage with grapes

“1 to 1.5 pounds of Italian sausage

3-4 cups red grapes

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar or lemon juice

Brown sausage in a skillet and remove just before done and place on a warm plate or in a warm oven.

Drain excess fat from the skillet and throw in the grapes. Cook until they start to collapse, finish with balsamic vinegar or lemon juice and transfer to a plate. Serve the sausage on the bed of grapes.

Grilled radicchio or braised fennel go with it quite nicely.

A light red works really well. Or…Lev Black Lion beer is one of my favorites.”
