A family staple. My Great Aunt always made this for our (Irish)family gatherings. It is not a soda bread, but a simple raisin bread. I can imagine it as a special treat in the old days. There is minimal sugar. Read more The "plumped" raisins sweeten the bread. Aunt Mary was a joy. She only had one arm, but always bought the walnuts in the shells (much cheaper) and would shell them herself! Can you imagine? See less
