Valentine menu

This post is late, but better late than never.
For Valentine, my hubby made steaks and Roasties

Then I made a Trifle. Everything was great.

Thought I'd share the Trifle recipe:

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk chilled
1 cup cold water
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
2 cups whipping cream whipped
1 (7 inch) cake , cut into 1 inch pieces
2 tablespoons strawberry or raspberry jam (depending on what fruit you are using
2 cups strawberry,
Other fruits (optional)
Some kind of wine or liqueur (optional)

Directions


1 In a large mixing bowl, beat the milk, water and extract until blended. Add pudding mix; whisk for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Cover and chill until mixture is partially set. Fold in the whipped cream.

2 Mix the fruits with the alcohol. Place half of the cake cubes in a 2 quart glass trifle bowl. Top with half of the cream mixture. Carefully spread with jam. Sprinkle with 1 cup of fruits. Layer with remaining cake cubes, cream mixture and fruits. Garnish whichever way you like.






Enjoy!
