Panettone with red berry coulis, lemon and pomegranate.

For this preparation we recommend the traditional panettone from Casa Losito or the lemon and white chocolate panettone.

For the Coulis:
You can use both fresh berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cherries or blackberries, or frozen ones to make this easy coulis.
Place the berries, sugar, water and the juice of half a lemon in a pot. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10 minutes or until the berries are soft. To make a berry coulis with gelatin to cover a cake, for example, you simply need to soak two sheets of gelatin and add them to the pot, well drained.

Tip: If you make frozen berry coulis, you don't need to defrost them beforehand.
cool slightly and blend with an electric mixer.
Strain the berry coulis to remove the seeds and leave a finer puree.
Once the coulis is made, you can add whole fruits and let them soften a little over the heat.
Cover the panettone with the cooled mixture and decorate it with orange and pomegranate, which will give it a crunchy touch.
