My friend Mary Manning was born in Ireland-and so was her easy-to-make bread recipe. Folks stand in line to get a slice. Serve it with butter, jam and a hot cup of tea. —Sadie M. Rotondo, Rockland, Massachusetts

We enjoyed this bread. It had a nice texture and somewhat sweet flavor. I substituted dried cranberries for the raisins and did not add the caraway seeds. I made a nice breakfast bread.

Made first time for St. Paddy's Day lunch as per recipe ... everyone raved over it. 2nd time made for a quilting group but left out caraway seeds and used dried cranberries instead of raisins. Everyone present had to have recipe. My wife has decided that will be a permanent addition to our cookbook!

Exceptional when toasted! Made the recipe as is except omitted caraway seeds and substituted half the raisin with diced plums to cut down fruit sweetness. This is a great "tea" bread and so easy to make. I'd love to make mini-loaves but am unsure of bake time; I guess I'll experiment!Thanks for a great recipe....

My husband loved this, especially with the caraway seeds. It I is so quick and easy to make.

A bit sweet, but not overwhelmingly so and the texture is more cake-like but if you can deal with these comments, the "bread" is absolutely delicious and really easy to make. Let's see, 4 starts or 5? Definitely a big 5.

I did not add the caraway seeds. It was more sweet than I expected. More of a teatime bread.

Made this today. Never had Irish soda bread before. This was great!! Only used 1 tablespoon caraway which gave it enough flavor. Will definitely make again.

on st patrick's day i made several different loaves of irish bread variations. although not traditional in shape, taste, or ingredients, this was a favorite with everyone. it is moist, tasty, and easy to make. a little on the sweet side, but that is a good thing.
