Pumpkin Panettone
A Great Holiday Presentation
This is straight from my test kitchen. Ha! This is an amazingly simple recipe. A little time consuming but worth it. The texture is unchanged from the traditional panettone. The question is why. Why mess with the traditional panettone? It’s simple. Not everyone in our family is into candied fruit. And without the candied fruit where do you go? Pumpkin and toasted or candied pecans.

Add this to your Super Bowl spread for a bit of variety. Not much can go wrong here except you might run out! Amazingly simple with few ingredients. Add Italian Hot Sausage bits for the meat lovers.
We love our brisket but have you noticed … it’s pretty expensive these days. Plus, brisket isn’t always available at our local grocer’s. When it is, the cut can be huge. Chuck roast is my brisket substitute. It’s cheaper, often on sale and plentiful at our local grocer’s. I find chuck roast requires shorter cooking time vs brisket of the same weight.
