Enter To Win a GIANT Panettone Just In Time For Your Holiday Party.
You’ve most likely seen the large Panettone boxes in stores over the years, especially around the holidays. It’s been somewhat of a peripheral thing for me, because I’d never tried it, nor really known much about it. I’ve since learned that Panettone is a Classic Italian Sweet Bread, that takes about 52 hours to make — Each tall domed loaf is made with love. I was recently offered the opportunity to try Bauducco’s Panettone. They make one with Hershey’s Chocolate Chips and another with Candied Papaya, Lime, Orange and Sun-Maid Raisins. And to be honest, at first I wasn’t sure if I wanted to try ’em. I’m not much of a Bread person and thought the Fruit version may be likened to an Old-Fashioned Holiday Fruit Cake, the kind many of us have avoided over the years. I now know that Panettone is much better than that and shouldn’t be compared to the aforementioned we all shun — Happily, it’s completely different. It also has an underlying Orange flavor that I really like. I’m now a Panettone lover.
Unlike the long-established American-style Fruit Cake, Panettone is light and airy with Fruit pieces spread throughout. It’s not dense, nor heavy and hard. It can be enjoyed by tearing away the sweet layers — But if you’re still weary of Bread containing Fruit, start by giving the Chocolate Chip one a try. Both are great alone or terrific when used to make French Toast or Bread Pudding.
ENTER A COMMENT to possibly WIN a 9 Pound Panettone (8.8 to be exact). The ones generally seen in stores are large enough at 2 Pounds (1.64 to be exact), thus the 9-Pounder is gigantic. The winner will receive a 9lb. Bauducco’s Fruit Panettone and a 2lb. Chocolate Chip Panettone. The GIANT Panettone could make quite the impression at your holiday party this year. Just leave a comment on this post to be entered into a drawing to have both shipped to you ASAP.
Note: You may enter this giveaway once a day from now until Sunday, 12/13/09 Midnight Pacific Time — Random drawing winner will be announced shortly thereafter and the Panettone sent when shipping information is obtained. Good luck to all!
