I remember trifles like that really well from my childhood!
Really Tom, I’m a 1950’s baby but I can honestly say I had never tried a hot trifle before.
Jam, real homemade jam. I do remember. Some fruit for bottling, others for jam!
Mmm, nothing like home made jam but hot trifle was something I had never tried before now.
Never had a hot trifle :no:
No I hadn’t, really different but really nice :))
