Tuscan Grapes and Sausages image

This recipe is one of my go-tos when entertaining. It's simple, elegant and you can entertain your guests instead of spending the entire time in the kitchen. It is always a crowd pleaser and everyone always asks for the recipe. The whole pieces of garlic in this dish become so sweet, a lovely complement to the sweet grapes and spicy sausage. I serve this over rustic hand-mashed red potatoes. -Melissa Zienter, Las Vegas, Nevada

I'm not a big fan of grapes in savory dishes, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The grapes added a nice sweetness and juiciness to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.

The sausages were a bit dry, but the grapes and sauce were delicious. I think I would try cooking the sausages in a different way next time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there were fewer grapes or if they were less sweet. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
