It sounds healthy too, raisins soaked in whiskey is supposed to be very good for you. And if they aren't, oh well!


It sounds FANTASTIC!! I will definitely be making this bread, Irish Whiskey and all. :) Thank you for the recipe, pat2me, and for joining our group. I look forward to seeing more of your recipes.


I made this for our first Dinner Club meeting and it was delicious. We loved it. I'm going to make it again for Thanksgiving Dinner.


Can't wait. Looks so yummy. Never tried Irish Whiskey to soak the rasins before. Sounds so good. Thanks.


Hi Pat... I see you like my version of soaking the raisins in Whiskey ;-) That concept goes way back to my Irish roots in the 1800's and has been passed down from one generation to another. Cheers!!!
