This is DELICIOUS. I like it much better with both the dried cranberries and raisins, than with raisins alone. This is a wonderful splurge for me! - 4/30/10

I made this for a St. Patricks Day family meal. It wasn't what I expected as it didn't rise very high (I may have done something wrong during preparation) but it sure was tasty and everyone liked it alot. I actually think it will be a better breakfast food. Thanks for sharing. - 3/18/12

This was the tastiest soda bread I have ever eaten. Mine was ready at 45 minutes! I did not have dried cranberries so I only used raisins and just used the 1 cup. Found the recipe just before I wanted to bake and soaking while prepping worked just fine. Will definitely make again! - 3/13/11
