@Deana: my mother always said that she’d rather be fat than waste food, but even while sharing that belief, we’d have had to make at least three trifles to use both panettones, and I don’t think any of us wants to save food enough to eat that many!

@Tamsin: what? no jelly in your trifle? just ladyfingers, custard and cream? I’ve never heard of such a thing. It’s probably much more refined and less,well, childish, than with jelly, but the coloring is all a bit the same, no? And, agreed, a homemade creme anglaise with real vanilla is vastly superior, but Bird’s has been good enough for generations in my family, so it constitutes part of the traditional recipe. Thanks for visiting and making your first comment! Hope you’ll be back again soon.

I have a horrible admission to make. I have often gotten pannetone and let it dry out only to be thrown out. Too big for the freezer or fridge, it sat in it’s pretty box with a slice or 2 gone and then went in the garbage. What a great idea to use it in a trifle. Bravo.

Panettone is a great idea for a trifle, will try that next time someone gives me one. Birds custard I can just about condone in a trifle, although I prefer a real egg custard, but JELLO? Think I’d skip that bit, but then I’m a trifle obsessive….Love your blog.

@Roberta: thanks for visiting and your comment. People do always bring desserts, don’t they? It’s either cookies, chocolates or desserts. Why don’t people bring dessert wines?

Good idea. I’m Italian, so panettone is always a must at holiday meals. But there’s always so much left over (because, of course, people bring other desserts). This seems like a nice way to use it up. Thanks for the recipe.
