Trifle

Ingredients

• Line a large bowl (preferably glass so that you get a nice effect)
• along the sides and in the bottom with lady fingers or sponge cakes
• (those commercial ones with jam in them are nice just cut them
• in two and face them jam side out). Add a drained can of fruit
• salad to the bowl, reserving the juice. Make Jello (strawberry or
• raspberry are good) according to directions, using the juice from
• the fruit salad as part of the liquid. Chill until Jello sets. Mum
• usually does this overnight. Make custard (mum uses Bird's) with
• 3 Tbsp custard powder, 3 Tbsp sugar and 2 cups milk. (This is much
• thicker than the directions suggest.) Add warm custard to the bowl.
• Chill in refrigerator to set. Serve with whipped cream.
