Grandma's Christmas Trifle

Raspberry jelly can also be used. Sherry can be substituted with juice from canned peaches. Make custard with custard powder on the stove, use gluten free custard powder if desired and can also made with soy milk. You can use gluten free cake, sandwiched together with strawberry jam and cut into 2.5 cm cubes, if desired. You can also use soy yoghurt instead of cream. You need a clear glass bowl to get the full effect of the colour and shapes of the jam Swiss roll. The jelly and the custard must be cool but not stiff, so that when you pour them into the bowl they make a smooth and uniform surface for the next layer to be poured onto. The jelly and custard must not be hot, as this will make the previous layer melt and the colours and textures will mix, spoiling the overall effect.
