Bet this is great x

Of course you can, maybe put some chopped nuts or something else in instead?

Thanks, the joy of Soda Bread!

Fab – glad you enjoyed it:-)

It’s so easy I think I’ve become addicted to making it:-)

Thank you Kat:-)

Thanks:-)

Feel free:-)

Yummy ,I love soda Bread and this recipe is amazing many thanks would love to bake

Thanks Kellie, we still have a loaf in the freezer to enjoy over Christmas:-) I’ll let you have your Philly fantasy while I stick with butter and perhaps a smear of strawberry jam:-) I’ll try your vinegar water tip – do you put it on some paper towel then?

What a delightful and wholesome recipe for this gluttonous time of year (but nothing wrong with a bit of gluttony!). I am having a little fantasy here of making this and having it with a smear of cold Philly! Mmm! PS I clean my fruits with a little vinegar water ;-0

Great;-)

I hadn’t had it either until earlier this year and now I’m hooked:-)

Thank you so much Sarah – a first post with my new camera:-)

Camilla this sounds utterly delicious, all of my favourite Christmas flavours but without the fuss of proving etc. The photos are beautiful too, lovely styling and light. Thanks so much for linking to #festivefoodfriday.

Aaw thanks Emily that’s great:-) My first post using new camera so really pleased you like the pics, means alot:-)

Thanks Laura:-) I remember in Home Ec we were taught it was called mineral oil but it doesn’t seem to be called that these days but whatever it’s known as now it’s to be avoided! Glad I’m not the only one using Fairy on my citrus fruits;-)

Thank you:-) I’ve had a life long love of marzipan so don’t need much of an excuse to use it:-) I do hope you get a chance to make this.

Thanks, it makes great toast too:-) (If you do have any leftover)!

My husband isn’t either and won’t touch a mince pie or Christmas pud but he went crazy over this bread:-)

Thanks Jan:-)

If I can squeeze marzipan into a recipe I’m all the happier Sarah:-)

Thank you Elizabeth, I almost needed to lock it away from hubby!

Thank you Vicki it really was tasty:-)

Thanks Jeanne:-) I really must toast the rest of it, am still eating loaf 1 (it was enormous) and it’s still fine just buttered:-)

Thanks Lucy, it’s a really good way of using up all those leftover Christmas ingredients and so festive and tasty:-)

Oh – I do love a good soda bread (I never have the patience for yeast breads!!) and I love the idea of fruit in this one. I can imagine even after a day or two it woudl still be splendid toasted with some salted butter 🙂
