Well….with only 5 more sleeps till that Jolly Old Elf makes his appearance once again, I think it is time to make a panettone.  If you are a fan of candied citrus peel, raisins and yeasty egg rich bread, than I urge you to give this bread a try.  Oh…..and don’t get caught up in the fact that it has to rise a few times.  It’s really no big deal.  If this City Boy can bake it, than so can you!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

How To Make Christmas Fruit Cake

It has definitely been a while since I have hit “publish”.  To my blogging friends, I say “hello again”.  To those that are “new followers”, I say “welcome”.  The blog has definitely been on the “back-burner” for the last 7 months and I have not given it the attention that I set out with a few years back.

Anyways, last weekend I decided to make Christmas fruit cake for the second year, but this Christmas I wanted to make some smaller cakes as gifts for family and friends who enjoy this yuletide treat.  So I tripled the recipe in the link below and adjusted the bake time for the smaller cakes.

If you like Christmas cake, I urge you to give this one a try.  It’s really easy and tastes just like those childhood memories.
