Christmas is just not Christmas without trifle for dessert and for many of us in South Africa, it is the only time of the year we get to enjoy this delicious treat. This is the very basic, most traditional way of making trifle.

Ingredients:

80g raspberry jelly
80g greengage jelly
1 large jam swissroll
50ml medium cream sherry, or more to taste
100g flaked almonds
410g sliced peaches or canned fruit
500ml vanilla custard, cooled
150ml whipped cream to decorate

Method:

In two seperate bowls, prepare the jelly according to the directions on the package and refrigerate until set.
Cut the swiss roll into slices and arrange a layer at the bottom of a large glass dish.
Sprinkle the swiss roll with half of the sherry.
Using a fork, break the set jelly into chunks.
Layer the trifle alternately with the sliced peaches or canned fruit, greengage jelly, custard and almonds. Repeat the sequence starting with the swiss roll slices.
Decorate the trifle with the red jelly, piped cream and flaked almonds.
Refrigerate and serve once well chilled.
