100% would make again

An Irish meal wouldn't be complete without a lovely loaf of Irish Soda Bread. This recipe makes a beautiful high loaf of bread dotted with sweet raisins. It doesn't last long at our house this time of year. -Gloria Warczak, Cedarburg, Wisconsin

Great bread. Not nearly as many raisins as the picture though. I may add more next time.

My family loves this soda bread I've been making it for years. The only thing I change is dried cranberry's instead of raisins as my children won't eat the raisins but they like the cranberry's
