Mel,

This was absolutely wonderful — thanks so much for sharing the recipe! It helped my boyfriend and me get through an ultra-stressful day of end-of-semester paper-writing. So quick and easy, and so flavorful. I’ll be making this again and again.

[...] November 12, 2008 · No Comments The weather is definitely starting to get nippy around here , making me very grateful for my lovely new winter coat. As well as for nice hearty meals. A particular recipe caught my eye last week, and instead of languishing in the stack of recipe printouts that litters my kitchen (to the constant frustration of the Boy), the ingredients for this one made it right onto my shopping list: bitchincamero’s Stout-braised Sausages with Apples, Pears and Cranberries.

Deb – I’d never think that! I cannot read a recipe without thinking of adjustments :)
Dried cranberries should be fine here. I used fresh because I didn’t want the dish to get too sweet. So in your case, I think I’d use just one apple, one pear and an extra onion or some shredded cabbage to keep it from tasting like dessert. Good luck!

Mel- I STILL have leftover dried cranberries (unsweetened). Could those be used in this dish and if so would you change the amount of liquid or make any other adjustments? (Sheesh Mel thinks to self – just fix it the way I post it for heavens sake!)

This looks so pretty. I wouldn’t have thought sausage could be that attractive (despite how much I love it). And so fall. Sounds great.

Seriously tasty. And Obsidian Stout sounds like a nice companion. Mmmmmmm sausages.

Oregon is Beervana.

Try the Obsidian Stout from the Deshutes Brewery. Oh baby!

This looks absolutely delicious. And I agree, cooking with beer makes this types of meal that much better.
