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!

  1. This is the ONLY trifle! We have it every Christmas, and sometimes in between too, when we feel like it - just cos it's so good! ;o)
