      I would love to make this for Christmas gifts. What size mold did you use and how many bars of soap did it yield?

    2. Pat Stern says:

      Someone mentioned a vanilla stabilizer or the soap would turn brown. Is this necessary?

    3. Is this soap for the shower? I’m concerned with the cranberries clogging my drain.

      1. If you are worried, I would just use it in the bath.

    4. It is true that if you use any Fragrance Oil in it that has Vanilla, the soap will eventually turn brown. If you do not want to use a Vanilla Stabilizer, I would suggest a different fragrance. For many new soapers they do not know this. Some I do not mind turning brown, if they go with the flow of the design, so these will start to look like little cakes with cranberry in them. Some suggested fragrances would be Lavender, Cranberry Salsa or any that say no vanillin content ..hope that helps.

      I used this for my Christmas gifts this year! Wicked easy to make and it smells amazing. I ran out of clear vanilla fragrance so I added a bit of vanilla extract. The only thing that happened was that it turned the soap slightly brown but not completely. It looks kind of artsy to me. Thanks for sharing!!

    6. If you use dried cranberries, will this give the soap a “shelf life” (will it mold eventually)?

    7. Hi Stacie:

      I have never made soap before. Friends and I are looking to make some cranberry soap. My question is: Won’t the cranberries clog the shower drain?

      Thank you!
