      I grew up with grandmothers and incredible Irish Bakeries, so I've had great Irish soda bread. And this is GREAT Irish soda bread!!! I didn't add the cranberries because traditional recipes don't include them. Instead of mixing the caraway into the dough, I sprinkled it on top. Also, I brushed the top with buttermilk before baking for the nice golden top. (last thing, I put the raisins in a little water and microwaved them for a minute so they wouldn't dry out the dough) This is a fabu recipe!!!

      I have made this recipe for the last 3 years and can't believe I haven't rated it yet. This is the best soda bread I have ever tried. I soak the raisins and cranberries in whiskey but don't drain them all the way to keep more of the whiskey taste in the bread. I add additional flour to make up for the extra liquid just until the dough is slightly less wet. Then I bake and eat it, and eat some more, and then eat a little bit more. Fantastic!

      One major problem with this soda bread - OMG I can not stop eating it - I made it yesterday and cut a piece when still pretty warm and have not stopped since - I toasted a thick slice to go with eggs this morning - oh yum. I did not have any dried cranberries (can not wait to try with them) so I used raisins and currents and I did not drain the whiskey off them before adding to the recipe. I did not have the black caraway seeds (have never seen any, but will look for them) so used regular ones. Really like the combination of the sweet of the fruit and the kick of the caraway. I ended up needing about 1/4 cup more buttermilk and I did reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup - don’t care for too much sweet - it was perfect - will be making this again and again - Thank you for such a great recipe.

      This was fantastic! This was my first time making soda bread, and it was just great. I used water to soak the dried fruit as I didn't have any whiskey in the house. Other changes: I didn't use a food processor, but just mixed the wet and dry ingredients separately and added the fruit and seeds last. I reduced the amount of caraway seeds to 2 teaspoons, which was just perfect for my taste. Lastly, I baked it in a 9in springform pan instead of the cast iron skillet. Absolutely delicious...I'll never have to search for a soda bread recipe because this is it...it's the best!

      First of all, I'm now convinced that I should soak cranberries and raisins in whiskey more often - they're good all by themselves! This is indeed moist and tasty. I included all the whiskey and consequently added some more flour. I was afraid of the caraway seeds, so I only added one teaspoon, which was just enough to add the flavoring without overwhelming. Mine was baked in about 35 minutes. Thanks for posting!

      Wonderful! I didn't realize that I was out of raisans, so I used dried cranberries only. Very, very good. It was equally good the next morning for breakfast.

      I make soda bread every year, its the ONLY traditional St Patty's Day food my husband likes. This recipe is the best I've made yet. The cranberries are a great addition!

      This was great! I used mixed jumbo raisins and soaked them in 2 Tbs whisky and 2 Tbs water (we only had the good Irish left!) and I used 1 Tbs caraway. (I couldn't imagine using more caraway than that!) I also might leave out the caraway next time, because while I loved it--DH thought it had too much "rye bread" flavor. Thanks for the keeper!

      This delicious bread is really like a giant scone. I didn't add the caraway seeds and I used currants instead of the raisins and cranberries. It kept very well and was great with dinner and for breakfast.

      I was looking for the BEST irish soda bread and i found it! Sometimes with soda bread, one can take it or leave it. With this one, you can't stop eating it! I didn't use the whiskey, just the water...very necessary to plump them because they stay juicy and the bread stays moist. I will not be making anyone else's recipe again!

      Wonderful!! I wanted to give this a try before a St. Paddy's Day get-together. I increased the Irish whiskey to a 1/2 cup and let the raisins and dried cranberries soak in it overnight (I also didn't drain the fruit before adding the mixture to the dough..which really added flavor and gave it a kick.) I also added a tablespoon of grated orange rind, which added to the fruitiness. And, although I really like caraway seeds, I reduced them by half. Lastly, I made whiskey butter (1 teaspoon of Irish whiskey mixed with 1/2 cup of softened butter - 1 stick) to serve with this bread...so, to say the least, this recipe is not kid friendly:). I will make this often, and not just for St. Patrick's Day! Thanks, Alan

      I have made SEVERAL Irish Soda Breads over the years and have never tasted anything as good as this one! I will reduce the caraway seeds next time by atleast half, they were too strong for my kids' taste-just meant more for me and my husband! Thanks for the GREAT recipe!!!

      Rita this is wonderful! I even went the extra step and added in the whiskey which really seemed to add so much flavor to this bread and yes you can slightly taste the whiskey, I did not have any caraway seeds so I had to omit, I increased the dried cranberries to 1 cup, this is delicious and I will make again, thanks hon!

      My family loved this bread! Their only suggestion was to reduce the amount of fruit next time, so I think I'll cut the raisins down to half a cup. Thanks for a great easy recipe!

      The cranberries and raisins were a great combination. I tossed everything in my kitchenAid so this was so quick and easy. Baked up beautifully in the cast iron skillet!
