A trifle not to be trifled with

The photo shows the magnificent trifle that my sister-in-law made for our Christmas dinner. It was delicious. The glass bowl showed off the various layers nicely but there was way, way too much for four of us.
The Swiss roll slices line the outside of the bowl and there are peaches inside that with different coloured jellies topped with thick custard, more jelly and slivered almonds.
We took what wasn’t eaten to my niece’s next day and enjoyed another serving or two. There was twelve of us for Boxing Day but there was still plenty for all of us.

It does look really delicious. Trifles aren't that popular here for some reason..our loss! Maybe I should try making one sometime.

Loved the title! It is the biggest trifle I have seen, so maybe is has moved ahead of the traditional. If I go to a pot luck meal I often take a trifle. It always get a good welcome. It is an easy make and cam be done well in advance. i top mine off with whipped cream.

It's a huge bowl. I'm sure a trifle would always get a good welcome. This one might have cream under the almonds. I can't remember now.
