Build the triflethe cupboard - it's a sherry trifle! But then PANIC – there isn’t any, because you used it all up the last time you made one and forgot to replace it! Send hubby off to the bottle shop to get some SWEET SHERRY and make the custard while waiting. Leave to cool – needs to be cold when assembling the dish, or other bits will melt! Making sure to tell darling hubby, that this errand is URGENT and not to stop off at the hardware shop, or might not see him for hours! Sherry back home, sprinkle all the sponge pieces liberally – or to taste, and let soak in. Better taste the sherry, make sure hubby brought home a nice one!
Mum always let us kids have a tiny sip of the sherry – I grew fond of sweet sherry at an early age! Be careful to keep the children away from the sherry fumes, coming off the soaked sponge, they will be falling asleep all over the table, and tend to get in the way. Now all you have to do is arrange some sponge on the bottom of the bowl, pour on some cold custard, and then another layer the same. Making sure the custard goes down in the cracks of the sponge, and completely covers it – looks pretty this way. Then cover the custard layer with your whipped cream – sweetened or not - then put the jelly on top of the cream. By this stage, the children are all awake, and lined up with their spatulas. That’s it. ENJOY! IN THIS SECTION - sherry-trifle recipe intro
