Strawberry Trifle

The strawberry trifle is the first dessert apart from cakes and biscuits I have ever made.

1. 1

   1. Pull the stalks out of the strawberries,trying to keep the core attached.If you need to, dig out with a small knife.
   
   2. Cut most of the strawberries in half,or into quarters if they are very big. Put them into a medium-sized bowl.
   
   3. Cut the sponges in half and spread them with jam. Press them back together,then cut them into quarters.
   
   4. Lay the sponges on top of the strawberries. Gently mix everything together,then trickle the apple juice over the top.
   
   5. Cover the bowl with plastic food wrap and put it into a fridge for about 3hrs.The sponges will go soft.
   
   6. Grate the yellow rind from the lemon,using the medium holes on a grater. Scrape off the grated rind with a knife.
   
   7. When the sponge mixture is cool, pour the cream into a large bowl. Add the milk,lemon rind,vanilla and sugar.
   
   8. Whisk the mixture with a whisk,until it is slightly stiff. Stop before it becomes too solid,or it will be to hard to spread.
   
   9. Spread the creamy mixture over the cooked sponge mixture.Then,put the trifle into a fridge until you are ready to serve it.
