Nice Jelly for Trifle? Help!

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if you can help me? I've been charged with making the Christmas trifle and I want to shop up with something a little nicer than the jelly, angel delight, cream mess that is normally dished up.
I think I'm going to make aa peach and passion fruit with co!!!! rum soaked brioche to replace those hideous trifle sponges but the only Jelly I can find in the supermarkey is the usual strawberry, raspberry or orange flavours. I think that these may overpower the other taste.
Does anyone know if you can get nice delicatly flavoured jelly in a ready mix pack? I had a gorgeous co!!!! flavoured one at a chinese restaurant last month, something like that would work but I don't have time to hunt out weird and wonderful ingredients.
Any Ideas?
Merry Christmas

How about using gelatin leaves then you can make whatever flavour jelly you like, maybe champagne jelly with rasberries in? Saw that somewhere recently and it looked lovely!

Either use gelatin leaves as Chameleon suggests -they're really easy and you get a soft, wobbly jelly not a rubbery one, OR don't have jelly.
Real trifle (imo:D ) doesn't contain jelly. Use jam and fruit instead. Tinned raspberries plus some raspberry jam work well.0 -

I pick fresh rasps in the summer and freeze for my christmas trifle or you can just buy frozen ones, much nicer than tinned, I agree, use lovely homemade rasp jam if possible instead of jelly. Also a lovely ripe banana in there goes really nice with rasps, also homemade custard makes all the difference. Everyone loves my trifle.0 -
