Fruit Trifle
Plain cake of any kind
A small tin of fruit
A little jam
A few nuts
One tin of custard
Method
Put thin slices of a cake into the glass.
On these spread a little of any kind of jam, without stones, then put another layer of cake, and another of jam and so on until the cake is used.
Pour over this the syrup from the tin of fruit. There should be enough to thoroughly soak the cake.
If there is not, use a little sweetened lemon juice and water to finish the soaking.
On top of the cake put the fruit laying it well on all the other ingredients.
Pour the custard over it all. When the custard is cold, chop the nuts and sprinkle them over the top.
