I made a bowl of jelly again.
Wonder if I should save it for the warmer weekend coming up.
Also got no idea how to start and finish this penatonne I was given a few weeks ago.
- have the panetone for breakfast
  
  🤔
  
  put a big slice in a panini press
- You need to douse the panetone in custard so it's unrecognisable then it's edible.
- Panettone is a sweetened bread - very like brioche, but it takes much much longer to go stale. Soak a 3 cm thick slice of panettone in milk, or a mix of 1 beaten egg and milk, let it sit for half an hour to absorb the liquid. Then fry in butter until golden brown. Enjoy with jam and icecream on top or even bacon & egg. Or cut a 2 cm thick slice and just have it plain with coffee. Maybe a bit of butter on top if you are feeling fancy. Or just toast slices for breakfast. All this applies to the 'normal' panettone with fruit in it. If you've been given the chocolate sauced sort or the lemon sauced sort - then just cut slices and eat with coffee or a glass of something. I prefer the ordinary sort as more flexible. Intended (and ideal) for providing a quick snackette when unexpected guests come over - just cut up and put on a plate.
  
  The one I have is chocolate chip.
  Lemon sauce or something like that sounds fantastic and might go well to offset the sweetness.
  
  Some things should NEVER have chocolate chips inflicted upon them. HCBs and panettone are top of my list here. The lemon sauced ones are so damn sweet as to be inedible imo. Just lop off the top dome horizontally and eat as toast, then pull off the giant paper muffin wrap bit by bit as you eat the remainder.
  
  True but I look on the bright side its dark chocolate so that’s a plus but it was a gift so I had no choice.
  I will make do!
  Having it slightly warm sounds really nice though.
  
  You got the best one but still drown that thing in custard.
  
  I will think about it. No rush to dig into it yet.
  
  Trust me ya gonna need custard or cream.
  It's deceiving. It looks like it has a lot of flavour but it doesn't. 😔
  
  Puffy cream appeals to me!
  It’s not a thing I usually eat so I have none of that stuff.
  
  Hahaha. Puffy cream.
  If you like stale bread you'll be fine but I'll tell ya it's as dry as a teetotaller's weekend holiday. Personally I'd make a trifle out of it but a small carton of custard should do it.
  
  If I’m not really keen on custard there isn’t much of an alternative for me is there?
  Stale bread…yuck!
  
  Oh dear.
  Rip it up and melt some chocolate. Dip away.
- Sprinkle it with a liqueur and add jelly and custard for a trifle?
- Make a tiramisu of it. One of my bosses makes tiramisu out of panettone and it's delectable.
