Trifle
I have lined the base with slices of swiss roll-can i also add fruit now,then pour over the jelly? Did my mum used to add half the reserved fruit juice from the can to jelly rather than make it all with water?Do you need to make the jelly a bit firmer in a trifle?

Don't throw away your sprout trimmings - make soup!
This is really frugal - don't throw away all those outer leaves when you trim up the sprouts for Christmas dinner - make some soup, I tried it - it's delicious and cheap! And I guess you could also make it with left over sprouts and reduce the cooking time a bit - and save even more money. Found the recipe HERE :D
