Stout-Braised Sausages with Apples, Pears and Cranberries

4 large sausage links

1 T. olive oil

2 medium or large yellow onions, sliced

2 ripe Bosc pears, peeled, cored and sliced

2 apples peeled, cored, and sliced

1/2 pint fresh cranberries

12 oz. bottle of your favorite stout, brown ale or mocha porter

 

Preheat oven to 350. Set a large heavy pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once it’s hot, add the onions and saute five minutes or until they begin to soften. Add the sausages and brown on each side, turning them to prevent sticking, about 5-7 minutes.
