No-Stress Trifle

Andrea-Oz's Note:

Easiest trifle ever to make. One of my Mother's failsafe recipes. You could add fruit if you want, or some alcohol for a kick. I use everything store bought to save time, but you could make all the components yourself too. The jelly needs to be made a couple of days ahead of putting it together, and the trifle can be made up to 2 days ahead. Swiss roll is a rolled up sponge with jam in it - we call it a jam roly-poly. Cooking time is fridge time.
