Boun Natale … everyone will have a Happy Christmas with this traditional Italian Christmas treat! Plan this one ahead – refrigerate for a few hours or overnight before serving to let the flavours develop and the panettone to soften. If you’d prefer and alcohol-free version, replace the panettone with brioche or sponge cake and the dessert wine with cranberry or apple juice. Serves 6.
