Peach Trifle

My mum loves this classic dessert trifle, so I made this one for her. It is a fun dish to prepare for any special occasions and children will enjoy helping out. Be sure to prepare this in a deep glass bowl so that everyone can admire the colored layers of sweetness at the end. This works very well without the jelly or the sherry (fortified wine) and you can use different fruit as well if you wish. I used Swiss Jam Roll, but any sponge cake works for this recipe.
