I came across this recipe one year while judging at our county fair. It's a hearty bread that's well suited for colder weather. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1 cup golden raisins |
1 pound bulk pork sausage |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup chopped pecans |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice |
1 cup room temperature strong brewed coffee |
glaze: |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 teaspoons milk |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil; reduce heat. Add raisins. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes; drain and set aside. Crumble sausage into a large bowl. Add sugars and eggs; mix well. Stir in pecans and reserved raisins. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger and pie spice; add to sausage mixture alternately with coffee.
2. Transfer to a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 350° for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over cooled bread. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12-16 servings.
