"My husband called in last week and talked to you about the Irish Soda Bread I've been making for 38 years. The recipe was given to me by a very dear friend in Connecticut who has since passed away. I make 10-12 loaves every Christmas to give away to friends, and I always think of her.  I hope you enjoy it." Thanks to Carol D. of Gold Canyon, AZ
