It’s time for panettone. Christmas would not be Christmas at our place without the huge cake of penettone, a large, round, sweet bread with domed top, featuring citron, raisin and lemon zest. I buy a loaf a week or two before the holiday, and my family feasts on the pale yellow cake at breakfast and as dessert at lunch and dinner. (Growing up, we ate it only on the holiday–I’m not sure it was around at any other time.) But as soon as Christmas goes, so does our appetite for panettone.
