Irish Soda Bread 1

I guess I am a day late and a dollar short. Not only did I forget to take pictures of the Irish American Soda bread I made from the Joy of Cooking recipe, but I JUST found my other recipes. Well, better late than never eh? Here's the first of two I have. This recipe doubles quite easily.
