Thankyou - do you find it hard to get the sherry you mentioned in the recipe or would any kind of sherry do?

I just buy pedro ximenez at the local bottle shop. But you can replace it with another sweet sherry.

Trudy.. This is a lovely VERY sweet Spanish sherry. Someone has described it as "Christmas pudding in a bottle"... I get it from Dan Murphy's here in Sydney ..

I agree about the sherry. My brother introduced me to it a few years ago. It isn't cheap so it doesn't get put in my trifle but I do put it in cakes.

The Pedro Ximenez is particularly nice. I also used it in this year's White Chocolate and Raspberry trifle and the other night made slow roasted beef cheeks with Pedro Ximenez and red wine.
