Irish Soda Bread  

4 cups of self-rising flour
1 cup of sugar
2 sticks of oleo (1 cup)
3 eggs
1-2 cups of raisins
2 cups of buttermilk

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.  (I soak the raisins in hot water for a few minutes to soften before adding them to the mixture.) 
This makes two large loaves.  Grease and flour the pans.  Bake in the oven at 350 F for 55-60 minutes. 

Sr. James Marie gave me this recipe years ago.  It is the best Irish Soda Bread I've had!  Enjoy!
