I'd love a proper trifle, but mum gets a Birds one every year
I've tried for about 25 years to be allowed to make a proper trifle, but I'm not allowed to, and I can't make a whole one just for me.
It would definitely have jelly in it though.0 -
I vote for jelly to. Darn it I forgot the sherry off the shopping list[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]It matters not if you try and fail, and fail and try again;[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]But it matters much if you try and fail, and fail to try again.[/FONT]

It has to be without jelly. Scotch Trifle or Tipsy Laird is sponge, sherry, raspberries, custard (made with evaporated milk), cream and chocolate flake or toasted flaked almonds (although at Christmas I sometimes add some edible silver balls) Yummy.0

no jelly for us
sliced swiss roll, 2 tins of strawberries chucked on top - one tin drained otherwise its too soggy and a good glug of sherry
topped with custard and lots of whipped double cream
leave it for a few hours in the fridge for the flavours to meld together and its delish'We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time0 -
a very old friend of ours used to work at a rather posh hotel and she made proper sherry trifle - sponge or swissroll jam sherry and custard that simple and has an Egon Roney recommendation for this and i have been making it her way now for about 11 years and friends even ask if i'll make it to take to house parties :j
while i knit i think

I actually prefer just jelly (none of those ladyfingers or fruit) in my trifle. I just hate the texture of crumbled/soft biscuits mixed with jelly eurgh :rotfl:0

Make one with fresh rasps a sliced ripe banana and homemade custard, they'll never want a birds one again;) I also use raspberry jam instead of jelly but it's ok to use rasp jelly too.0
