This particular St. Patrick's Day recipe has become an annual re-post because it's so popular. A few years ago I had readers write in for a Soda Bread recipe. This Jewish girl had nothing in the family archives so I was forced to reached out for help from my local Irish gal, Claire, for some culinary inspiration.
