Who knew that I would be able to do my grocery shopping and find my favorite coffee on the coffee aisle! I forgot how wonderful Dunkin Donuts coffee is! There are a few things I miss from home and this was one of them. Now if we could just get Fall a little earlier and a Trader Joes I would be set!
The only thing that would make the coffee better is a piece of fresh baked pumpkin bread. I've had this little book "Gifts from the Kitchen" for quite sometime and it has the most wonderful pumpkin bread recipe in it. I usually make these around the holidays and give them away as gifts.
Here is the recipe:
Hancock Inn Pumpkin Bread
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup oil
3 eggs
2 to 3 cups mashed pumpkin (I use canned)
1 cup chopped nuts (I usually omit because I'm not a big fan of nuts in baked goodies)
1 cup raisins (optional)
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix sugars and oil. Add eggs, mashed pumpkin, nuts and raisins. Sift together flour, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. fold into sugar and oil. Bake in greased loaf pans at 350F for 1 to 1.5 hours until it is brown and tests down in the middle.
Makes 2 large loaves.
