Serrone. Pappery Bread

During the Christmas holidays this typical dessert called Panpepato - 'Pappery bread'.

It is made with dried fruit, candied fruit, chocolate and honey.

Originally they were also made with peppercorns from which comes the name of this cake.

The shape and colour are reminiscent of a pale sun and, in some areas, its preparation took place on December 21, the day of winter solstice.
