Thanks, Norm. And, YES, it was!
It's amazing how the addition of a simple fruit like grapes can add just the right amount of sweetness to a meal. The original recipe that I morphed into this simpler one had basalmic vinegar and dried figs and apricots. It is really good but the grapes were in the refrigerator and seemed like a quick fix to a boring piece of pork.
I also got the idea of adding grapes to my Brussels sprouts from Barbara. When she said she had done that and it was really good I was shocked. But, hey, why not give it a try? I've added them multiple times now and people really like the addition, although after the grapes cook down they aren't really noticable ~ just the slight sweetness that really counteracts the sometimes bitter cabbage taste. And with bacon in the mix.....well, it's not bad at all.
