Grandma McAndrews' Irish Soda Bread

Recipesfull introduces to you: Quick Bread Recipes. (Grandma McAndrews' Irish Soda Bread). This is not the dark bread you see in every restaurant in Dublin or Galway these days but I promise, it's authentic Irish Soda Bread, exactly how my late Irish grandma made it. Serve warm or cold with butter. This freezes great. I've made several loaves before St. Patrick's Day, or family parties. I freeze them, take them out the morning they're needed and warm up in a hot oven for 5 -7 minutes before serving.
