Trifle info for Betty in Indiana
My friend Josie is from England and makes a very delicious traditional trifle for me for every holiday - including my birthday. Just the other night I ran across a site for trifles, but nothing even close to hers. The first layer is ladyfingers (spread w/strawberry jam and sprinkled with Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry or any sherry), then strawberry jello filled with pears and peaches (she drains the juices and uses them to make the jello). The next layer is a thin layer of custard (we use Bird's Custard Powder - some markets carry it in their specialty item section if you don't have a British market). And the top is a layer of whipped Nestle Table Cream. And it has to be made in a trifle bowl or a nice glass mixing bow. Delicious.....I can hardly wait for Thanksgiving. Tori aka PaMaBears@aol.com
