A Mere Trifle (Not)

This weekend, we’re giving a party for the neighbours to celebrate the arrival of Spring. I’ve been trying out recipes to prepare for the onslaught.

One of the tryouts was an Edwardian Trifle from Nigel Slater, published in The Observer newspaper in May 2004. The consensus from the tasting panel (Martin and myself) is that this recipe is a definite winner. It improves with age – we finished the last of it today (Thursday), and it was made last Sunday. Gawd, was it good!

Since it needs to mature, that means I’d better do the trifle for Sunday by starting tomorrow (Friday).
