I'm not a huge fan of fruitcake, but this bread was surprisingly good. The bread was moist and flavorful, and the fruit wasn't too overpowering.

Not bad for a first try, but I think I'd make a few changes next time. Maybe add some honey or cinnamon.

This Irish bread was a delight! The combination of raisins, currants, and mixed peel gave it a wonderfully sweet and fruity flavor. The texture was perfect, with a slight crunch on the outside and a soft, fluffy interior.
