English Trifle Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS

1 Angle Food Cake,, fresh baked or purchased.
1 Jar Low Cal Raspberry Jam
1 large Sugar Free Raspberry Jello
(6 serving box)
1 large Pk Instant Vanilla Pudding, Sugar free
1/2 cup To 1 c Dry Sherry,, not cooking variety
1 Or 3 marischino cheeries, with stems
3 Fresh mint leaves, or similar garnish.
Cool-Whip Lite

Recipe Instructions:

Takes up to two days to prepare properly Break angel cake in medium size
pieces, spread each with small amount of Raspberry Jam, arrange in straight
sided glass bowl. Pour over the sherry and weight down lightly with saucer
and cover with plastic wrap, set aside for a few hours. After sherry has
been absorbed, mix Jello according to directions, do not use ice. Pour over
cake and sherry in the bowl. Cover and place in refrigerator for several
hours or overnight until jello is set. Before serving, prepare Vanilla
Pudding mix and pour over top of jello, using a knife to slide down sides
of bowl to allow some of the pudding to go down sides. Cover and chill
again. Garnish with cherries and mint, or use some of the candied holiday
fruits to decorate top of bowl. When serving, be sure to slide spoon to the
bottom of the bowl for each serving, not only for the colors of the
different layers, but to be sure each serving gets the flavor of the
sherry. Top with a small dollop of Cool Whip Lite.

If you're not watching sugar content or calories, the same recipe can be
made with regular jam, regular jello and regular pudding mix. Looks best in
a straight sided glass bowl. This has been a family favorite for Christmas
since my childhood.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
