It got the "Oliver Twist" treatment and disappeared with lightning speed in my house. Thanks a million - wonderful recipe.

Would have liked Almonds on top with sprinkles.Just like my Mother made in U.K. Thanks for reminding me.

This was delicious! My husband requested I make a trifle (like his mother used to make) for his birthday. I had no idea where to start! Recipezaar and kristinej came to the rescue! Thankyou. :-) The only things I did differently were to sprinkle a little sherry over the jam roll and I scattered slivered almonds on top rather than the sprinkles as suggested by pat. I made it the day before serving and it turned out great.
