we never ever, ever use the seasoning that comes with the corned beef! It seems they all do nowadays. I bought 3 this year and popped two in the freezer for when hubs gets home. Like any good Irish wife, I plan on fixing it for him in the summer and eating off it for weeks!
I LOVE SODA BREAD!Yummy!
i don't know if you are a traditionalist or not...but after we cook the bread the majority of the way through, we take it out. Then we paint some buttermilk on top and top it with cinnamon sugar before putting it back in. delicious!
Yum! I need to go pick up some corned beef...
Great timing sharing this ;) Lance has exactly 0% Irish in him but I might have to see if Lance would be up for some Irish food on St Patty's day hahh
Yum! I absolutely loved corned beef and soda bread. It is by far my favorite meal, ever. I make the corned beef in the crockpot during the year, but my mom makes everything on the stove for our St. Paddy's Day meal.
I decided I wanted to make corn beef this year for the first time ever. I have no idea how to do it....but now I do! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe:)
