Roasted Broccoli with Oranges and Fried Capers

Roasted broccoli gets a bright, flavorful upgrade with juicy oranges, crispy fried capers and toasted sunflower seeds. The fresh citrus balances the broccoli’s earthy, roasted flavor, while the capers and sunflower seeds add pops of brininess and crunch.

Panettone

Panettone feels special from the moment it comes out of the oven. Tall, golden and wonderfully rich and aromatic, Italy's famously rich holiday bread is filled with plump golden raisins and bits of candied orange peel that bring sweetness and bright flavor to every bite. Its airy texture and elegant height are aided by paper panettone molds that can be purchased online. While traditional panettone can take days, this mostly hands-off version makes it very approachable. A little advance preparation and time for the dough to slowly develop flavor and texture are all it takes to create two loaves with the treat's signature soft, fluffy crumb. Finished with a sprinkle of crunchy pearl sugar, it's a festive bread that's as beautiful to share as it is to eat — and well worth the effort.

Cranberry-Orange-Glazed Ham

A spiral ham is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd, and this version feels especially festive thanks to a sweet-tart cranberry-orange glaze. The homemade glaze of cranberries, orange zest and juice, brown sugar, rosemary and mustard adds a bright, tangy flavor that balances the ham’s richness. The ham is gently heated in foil to keep it juicy, then roasted at high heat until glossy and caramelized. Serve extra cranberry-orange glaze on the side for a bright, seasonal take on a classic holiday centerpiece.
