 Limoncello Trifle...but what fruit do I use?? Okay, so its MIL birthday next weekend, and I said I'd make a trifle for dessert. I like the kind of trifle which is lady fingers/sponge spread with jam in the bottom of the dish, laced with large amounts of sherry, then fruit on top (raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants etc), then custard, then cream. Now...we made a big batch of Limoncello before Christmas, and to ring the changes, I thought I'd used that instead of sherry, and lemon curd instead of jam... but what on earth do I use as the fruit layer??

| Gosh- that's had me thinking!!! ( and now I fancy a piece of lemon drizzle cake -which I don't happen to have!!  )Urm- I suppose you could use mandarins as they are fairly sweet but tart and maybe some flaked almonds? or - red cherries and pecans?? I think creme fraiche and mascapone would work well- what do you think??

| Hmmmm, interesting. I was wondering about mascapone instead of cream, it would give it a real Italian feel.

| Lemon goes really well with strawberries - especially the anaemic imported ones - and peaches.

| Darn- I'm still thinking!!!!  I think of lemon as a refreshing flavour associated with hot weagher. So I suppose tropical fruit should psychologically work well. Mangoes maybe , passion fruit ( crunchy bits) bananas ( no texture and too bland with the rest of the colours??) That's why I thought of almonds- sort of Italian and gently crunchy to add texture. Crumbled Amaretto biscuits on the top

| Its tricky isn't it - I've been wracking my brains. Passion fruit and lemon sounds like a lovely combination, however FIL has advanced cancer of the esophagus and can only eat soft stuff - so no crunchy bits  (But I will store that one in my brain for another occasion )

| Well then.... I'd go for chopped strawberries, peaches and mangoes. That'd go! Nice and soft, good mixture of flavours to compliment the lemon and warm, friendly colours!! ( can you post on any left overs..if there is any???)
