Trifle absolutely delicious and well worth making. I changed the recipe slightly by making my own raspberry jelly, rather than buying a packet of jelly cubes. Jelly is so easy to make and I have a real problem with using most convenience foods. I also made my own cake for the base layer.
It took a few hours to make, so really is a party pudding, rather than an everyday one.
I think that my results look pretty well like the picture, apart from the slightly varied decorations that I used.
Usually I do not make dishes with out of season fruit or vegetables, so in future I’d make this as a summer pudding.
Comments from Paul: “Lovely, and would have been even better without the paper.” (the recipe suggested lining the tin with both cling film and baking parchment, and I think next time I’d not bother with the latter, as it must have disappeared into the custard).
Happy Sarah the Cook
