panetone



This is an example of panetone. It's a fruit cake, but not the usual nasty, dry fruit cake that comes in one of those Christmas tins. This is moist and flavorful and stands between 12 and 15 inches tall. I'll try to get a picture of our last panetone before we eat all of it...

I had some of this at a Mexican friend's house. Dry as a bone and tough crust. I was completely unimpressed although they raved about it. I trust yours was better.

We have eaten two over the season - both delicious and tender - just moist enough, with that mysterious 'under taste'. Not dry or crusty at all.
