Notes: In an Irish home, fewer things say "welcome" than the smell of fresh Irish soda bread coming from the kitchen; it's an invitation to come on in, catch up, relax, and let your worries melt away in good company and great conversation. With a little butter melted on a warm slice of soda bread, it's a delight for all ages. In a climate where home visits are less frequent than they used to be, we wanted to share that "welcome" feeling with an Irwin family tradition. This is our grandma's Irish soda bread recipe- she's been making it for a long time, over 45 years. Make with love and care, and share with the same. We hope you enjoy it!
