Roasted Rutabaga with Sausage

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Place the sausage in a large shallow roasting pan; cook, turning occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until no longer pink.

Reduce temp to 350 degrees. Remove the sausage to a plate and add the rutabagas, onion, garlic, rosemary, and preserves to the pan with the sausage drippings. Toss to coat well. Place the sausage on top of the vegetables. Cover and roast, tossing occasionally, for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is cooked through. Transfer the sausage to a platter, drizzle the vinegar over the vegetables. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with the sausage.
