in Old style MoneySaving
I am making individual sherry trifles and was wondering how much sherry to put into each individual trifle. The sherry is 17%. :eek:

Should I put in one teaspoon, 1 tablespoon or what?

    Just enough to soak the sponges. You don't want too much as it can be overpowering.

    Oh and have a glass yourself while making it. ;)

    Enough to JUST Soak the sponge fingers BUT...

    Try Amaretto and sprinkle slices of toasted almonds on top!

    I am thankful for all the responses, although it sounds like I am not when I say we don't eat this and we don't drink!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    We are not fussy eaters, we just eat a plain diet.

    THANKS for all the responses though. :j
