Let the festivities begin!
I deemed it close enough to Christmas to cut into the annual panettone for breakfast this morning.
This has become a bit of a new tradition in our home since I stopped making Christmas cakes a few years ago.
Young people (stepson and his housemates) are making their way to us via train and bus for Christmas as I type so this will be our last quiet breakfast with just the two of us for a while.
It seemed appropriate to have our annual treat of panettone with our coffee whilst the house is still calm.
This year I bought two boxed panettone- a pistachio cream one and a traditional one with dried fruits and candied peel. Husband viewed the pistachio one with deep disdain as it’s covered in white chocolate which he believes is the invention of the devil.
All the more for me then ..
Merry Christmas everyone! Wishing you a warm and cozy festive season with love from Skye.

I bought a lemon one and a chocolate one from Carluccios delivered. I’m not a fan of mixed fruit anymore…

Enjoy your treats, they look delicious. Have a great Christmas with your family, it is the time of year for resting and visiting.
I had to look up panettone, it looks like a complicated thing to make. It does look delicious though.

It’s like a brioche (sweet soft dough). I have never tried to make one and I probably never will!

One of our neighbors makes brioche, it is his claim to fame. It is, apparently, a very complicated bread.
