ingredients
- 3⁄4 lb ground sausage (mild, or I have the butcher grind up pork cutlets)
- 2 1⁄4 cups brown sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 lb walnuts
- 2 1⁄3 cups flour

- 3⁄4 teaspoon spices (nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves or pumpkin pie spice)
- 1 (16 ounce) box raisins
directions
- Mix all ingredients by hand in a large mixing bowl.
- You will bake it like a fruit cake.

- Cover with paper last hour of baking.
- Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1-1/2 hours.
- Bake until toothpick in center comes out clean.
- Cool; wrap in waxed paper or foil.
- In olden days, cakes were wrapped in wine-dampened cloth to keep them moist and mellow.

Married to a Texan, plus I used to live in Mexico, so I love spicy foods! Anything that wakes up the tastebuds is great! My passion right now is watching our new puppy of 8 months, to be sure she doesn't get into things she shouldn't!
