Scotch soda bread is baked the weekend after St. Patrick's Day, when you have leftover buttermilk and sour cream that you don't want to waste. Scotch Soda Bread contains those odd bits of dried fruit lying around the cupboard too. And just for kicks, I threw in pecans. Waste not, want not is the motto of the Rettie kitchen. What is leftover on Saturday morning in the way of veggies goes into some egg concoction, and rather than turning those dead bananas into bread (sort of joke, since I rarely bake banana bread) I make smoothies. Smoothies are often made on Sundays as well, when I've scoured the bargain shelf at Dan's Produce. You can get some good 99 cent bargains. My grandmother Agnes would be proud of me.
Looks scrumptious! If that were in my house, I wouldn't be able to leave it alone, carving off little snacks until it was GONE.
