1318587 2012-12-16 10:06:00 Yeah, I have had trifles with and without. I prefer sherry (lots of it :D ) on the sponge although a "kid friendly" version (as it's known in our old handwritten cookbook) lists jelly as a subsitute. Can be used in conjunction with the sherry as a flavouring but it won't hold since the alcohol will "melt" the jelly.


Going to make a wicked trifle for xmas ;)

1318588 2012-12-16 10:13:00 For a xmas trifle you need old cake and alchohol.
If you have eaten cake during the past year, then that is already squared away. Don't trifle with sherry, get some good vodka and drink copiously. Engage in Cossack dancing to mix with old cake. Allow to mature while you sleep. No dishes to wash !

1318590 2012-12-16 20:08:00 My mum in law made a very nice trifle using ginger sponge cake, lots of sherry, a tin of mandarins (leave out the syrup) custard, and whipped cream on top with grated chocolate on. Too yummy!

Now that is a trifle worthy of the name... All you can do after a generous helping of that is to have a wee snooze...

1318593 2012-12-16 21:48:00 Raspberry sponge roll to line the bowl sherry, fruit salad,jelly with mandarins mixed in it, custard, cream. Perfection personified gary67 (56)
1318594 2012-12-16 23:11:00 Sounds like Trifle is more of a gneral desert category rather than a particular recipe. My dear old mother despised sherry so she made her own version without it.
Sponge on the bottom, with some fruit juice - often pineapple or some of the juice from tinned fruit
A layer of custard
Topped with lots of whipped cream and fruit pieces.

For me personally custard and cream is perfection and the rest is padding.
