Trifle is a must for the Chrissy table, along with Chrissy Pudd. .

The recipe calls for pouring jelly over the sponge cake and letting it set.

Will the jelly set if I pour in some sherry as well?

You’d need to decrease the amount of water that you use for it to set. Not sure if it would be by the same amount though.

you usually pour the plonk on the sponge and let soak in then apply the jelly.

This. I use port wine. And then port wine jelly.

Yes, for sherry trifle the sherry is traditionally poured over the sponge and any fruit you might be placing on top of the sponge, then add your jelly, custard, or whatever else you’re adding.

You could top it all with a syllabub (whipped cream mixed with sherry, sugar and lemon juice).

Here’s a BBC recipe for a very simple sherry trifle that doesn’t include any jelly:

Decided I’ll get some trifle ingredients tomorrow too. But rather than do one big one, I’ll just do single serves when the fancy takes me over the next few days.

I got in a panic one Christmas when I didn’t have all the ingredients I needed, my wife said what’s the big deal its only a dessert and I said it’s important it’s no trifle matter

No! No fruit in trifle. Jam roll/rolletes, port wine, port wine jelly and custard. And jelly cubes on top with some whipped cream rosettes.

I’ll have to disagree on the no fruit.

I’m not eating your trifle then. I could, possibly, cope with raspberries. But none of this tinned peaches and pears and stuff.

though pavs are the dessert you can only eat once every decade as it takes that long for the blood sugar levels to return to normal.

I was thinking deportation as well

Might as well put these here:

Three snaps will do. First layer, lamington cream roll.

Second layer, sliced strawberries.

Followed by a splash of sherry, dump of custard, then dump of lemon & sherry syllabub.

You also moved the top three to the left and the one on the far left, to the far right position.

Probably “adjusted”. They take plus or minus 3% or 3km off for the cameras, 2% or 2km/hr off for radars in Victoria. Trust Mr buffy…he was a camera operator…

:)

I don’t buy that excuse either, who worries about their trifle on boxing day? there’s nothing left!

Syllabub’s now much firmer, so here they are with strawberries on top.

You can keep saying syllabub as much as you like but I’m not looking it up.

Just ignore me like everyone else :)

It’s just frothy (in this case alcholic) stuff PWM.

Thank you, that Bubblecar person was never going to tell us.

I had to check, but it’s basically whipped alcoholic cream. I like Lemon Chiffon better.

Syllabub is an ancient cream, fruit and wine concoction done either as a drink (lightly beaten) or a dessert (beaten until firmer).

In this case it’s just whipped cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, sherry, sugar.

But even a basic one like this has a very fruity and festive taste

Nigel Slater adds brandy and lets it cure overnight:

His fears about curdling and not properly integrating can be avoided simply by using a food processor with a normal slicing blade (rather than an electric beater). Works beautifully.

Anyway I’m going to scoff one of those now, ‘cos dinner (a pork and vegetable casserole) won’t be until much later, when it’s cool enough to be cooking.

Verdict: Very pleasant indeed. I think next time I’ll add a layer of crumbled shortbread between the custard and the syllabub.

Wah…… no jelly?

These are Bubblecar trifles. They are like no other trifle you have ever heard of…

I like tira misu myself. Italian trifle. But with gorgeous Italian meringue.

Jelly is for for the little ones. Mine are grownup trifles.
