# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It uses only one pan and takes less than an hour, most of it hands off while the oven does the work.
  • The grapes burst and caramelize into a sweet jammy sauce that balances the richness of the sausage perfectly.
  • It feels fancy enough for company but easy enough for a weeknight when youre too tired to think.
02 -
  • Do not skip flipping the sausages halfway, or one side will stay pale and the other will burn.
  • If your grapes are very large, halve a few of them so they release juice faster and create more sauce.
03 -
  • Use a sheet pan instead of a deep baking dish if you want extra caramelization, since the juices spread out and concentrate faster.
  • Let the dish rest for five minutes after it comes out of the oven so the juices thicken slightly and cling to the sausages instead of running all over the plate.
