I always used “drunken” raisins when I make Irish Soda Bread. Soak the raisins in a liquor of your choice for a day or so.
What a fantastic treat for St. Patty’s Day! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Looks delicious :o) x

I adore Irish Soda Bread. I like the seeds in it, but my family doesn’t.
Thanks for sharing with us on #TastyTuesdays
Megan, I love Irish soda bread of all sorts! Everyone does it a little differently. I like to use part whole wheat flour in mine, but yours looks perfectly delicious as well!
Thank you so much for linking at #overthemoon! I look forward to seeing what you share every week. Please come back next week and allow us to promote your content!
Just add a cup of Bailey’s spiked coffee to go on the side and I’m in Irish heaven!! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner Link up!
I love bread, but I’ve never tried making my own Irish soda bread. Is it a dense bread?
