Original Recipe Yield 12 servings

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 egg
1 cup chopped pecans
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup strong brewed coffee, room temperature
GLAZE:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a 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.
Transfer to a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees F 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.
