Old Fashioned English Trifle

This was one of my Christmas day contributions, an old fashioned English Trifle. Always a hit, there are endless variations to a trifle, basically it’s just layers of yumminess.

I nearly did morrello cherries and kirsch, but stuck with the traditional after all.

Make this one day ahead to allow for the liquid to be absorbed by the cake.

Method

1. Make jelly according to packet directions and pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate until set. Cut into bite sized cubes.
2. Line a 1ltr glass bowl with cake. Sprinkle cake with sherry (or whatever you have on hand) and brush with peach syrup.
3. Pour half the custard over the cake, top with the jelly and then about 2/3 of the peaches and then the remaining custard.
4. Top with remaining peaches, whipped cream and grated chocolate. Refrigerate overnight.
