Recipe - Trifle Without Wine

I remember this trifle - I loved it!
How shocked I was to discover that other people prefer trifle with jelly in...
I guess it is what we are used to?

Well here is the trifle dear to my taste buds:

Cut into bite-size pieces, as much un-iced cake as you require (stale cake is good).

Make 1 1/2 pints (750ml) thin custard - cool

Add to cooled custard and mix well:

1/2 tsp almond essence
1 tbsp apricot jam
1 tbsp seville marmalade
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Spread cake uncrammed into pyrex dish
Pour over the custard mix
Cover generously with whipped cream
decorate with cheries and chopped nuts

Allow to 'stand' in frig for an hour or more

ENJOY!

My Mom used to sit in her green Parker Knoll chair (in fact, like the chair these blankets are draped over...) and crochet blankets.

These are the four last there are of what she crocheted.

She made one for each of her children and children-in-law.

She made one for each grandchild who was baptised. I am not sure if all the grandchildren got to have a baptism blanket.

She made spare ones for the new babies to be born. These have gone to the great-grandchildren.

These photos show the last four - what a legacy!

For Her Posterity

Les sent this to me.
As I looked at it, I thought that this is good for her posterity to know.
When I find out more about this I will add the details.
