Boston Brown Bread
Of course, most old-time New England folk serve the traditional Irish Soda Bread along with their favorite corned beef and cabbage dinners or Shepard's Pie on St. Patrick's Day.
This easy recipe for homemade bread can be whipped up in just about an hour!
When I was growing up, we always had Boston Brown Bread and Hot Dogs and Baked Beans as a supper about once a month.
Serve with a side dish of your favorite Baked Beans recipe, or as a dipping bread along with my Irish Pub Corned Beef Dip recipe !
