Panettone Alla Marmalade

Makes 1 panettone or six mini can panettone

When I decided to research how to make panettone I found many different recipes with raisins and candied fruit. Because all of the kids don’t like raisins I decided to mix it up a little and used dried apricot and fruitcake fruit which I tossed in flour before adding to the dough.

I didn’t have a panettone pan so I went out and bought six cans of diced tomatoes and cleaned them out, took off the label and dried real well. I traced the bottom of the can on parchment paper of and cut rectangle to line the sides. I brushed the inside of each tin with plenty of melted butter, and then, using the buttery pastry brush to help you, poke your circles of paper to the bottom and roll the rectangles up and pop inside each tin to line the sides.
