• 1 ½ lbs sweet or hot Italian chicken sausage
• 4 cups seedless red grapes
• ½ cup water
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook sausages, rolling occasionally, until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate and let cool 5 minutes. Cut sausage in half crosswise.
