FESTIVE SUMMER TRIFLE

Pair sweet, juicy seasonal fruit with delectable fruit cake in this showstopper dessert.

Serves 10 • Preparation time: 20 minutes, plus setting time for the jelly

• 6 SPAR Freshline stone fruits (nectarines or plums), stoned

• 250ml mixed SPAR Freshline summer berries (raspberries, blueberries and strawberries)

• 250ml SPAR Freshline grapes

• 2 packets (40g each) SPAR strawberry-flavoured jelly

• 450g SPAR Freshline

Christmas fruit cake

• 500ml SPAR vanillaflavoured custard

• 250ml SPAR fresh cream

• 15ml brown sugar

• 2.5ml ground cinnamon

• 5ml vanilla essence

• Extra SPAR Freshline stone fruit, grapes

and berries for garnish

• 6 SPAR mini meringues

• couple of mint sprigs (optional)

1 Slice the stone fruits, strawberries and grapes and mix with the berries. Arrange a layer of fruit on the bottom of a glass trifle bowl.

2 Dissolve the jelly in 225ml boiling water, add 225ml ice water and when the jelly is cold, carefully pour over the fruit in the trifle bowl and allow to set in the fridge. This step can easily be prepared the day before.

3 Once the jelly is set, cut the SPAR Freshline Christmas fruit cake into squares and layer on top of the jelly. Pour over the custard.

4 Flavour the cream with the brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla and whip until just stiff. Spoon on top of the custard just before serving and garnish with extra stone fruit, grapes and berries. Crumble the meringues over the fruit and serve. A couple of mint

sprigs are an optional extra.

Tip

SPAR Freshline Christmas trifle sponge sprinkled with sherry is a more traditional alternative to fruit cake.
