\n450g\/1 lb fresh blackberries
\n450g\/1 lb fresh raspberries
\n85g\/3oz toasted flaked almonds
\n600ml\/1 pint ready-made custard<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
125ml\/4fl oz sherry
\n2 tbsp brandy
\n1 lemon, juice only
\n55g\/2oz caster sugar
\n425ml\/15fl oz double cream
\nfreshly grated nutmeg<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2 oranges, grated zest only
\n85g\/3oz flaked almonds<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lay the sponge pieces and biscuits in the base of a deep glass dish. Spoon over the sherry and cognac and leave to soak in for a few minutes.<\/p>\n
Warm the jam until it is runny then pour over the soaked sponge and biscuits. Sprinkle the fruit and flaked almonds on top then pour over the custard.<\/p>\n
To make the syllabub topping, place the sherry, brandy and lemon juice into a bowl and stir in the sugar until it dissolves.<\/p>\n
Pour in the cream with a pinch of nutmeg. Whisk together using a wire balloon whisk until it holds its shape. Don’t over-whisk, or whisk too vigorously, as the cream may split.<\/p>\n
Spoon the syllabub over the trifle and chill, preferably overnight.<\/p>\n
Just before serving, scatter with the grated orange rind and\/or flaked toasted almonds.<\/p>\n
