Original Receipt from the Suffolk Local Authorities website '1Suffolk';Suffolk Trifle Ingredients 4 Large macaroons (see recipe below) 4 tbsp White wine 1 tbsp Brandy 1/2 pint Single cream 1 Egg and 1 egg yolk 1 tbsp Cornflour 1/2 oz Caster sugar 3 ozs Raspberry jam 1 oz Blanched almonds 1 oz Candied peel, chopped 1/2 pint Double cream Method Add the macaroons to a large glass bowl (the one you wish to serve your finished trifle in) and pour over the white wine and brandy. Leave the macaroons to soak, adding extra wine or brandy if they appear to be too dry. In a saucepan, pour in the single cream and warm gently until just on the point of boiling. In a bowl, beat together the egg, egg yolk and cornflower and gently pour on the warmed cream whisking lightly. Return the mixture to a clean saucepan and cook gently until the custard has thickened, do not boil. Stir continuously to prevent lumps. Stir the sugar into the custard and allow the custard to cool slightly. Pour the cooled custard over the macaroons and set aside. Carefully smooth the jam over the custard, sprinkle with almonds and candies peel. Whip the double cream until it stands in soft peaks and pip or pile on top of the trifle. Serve decorated with extra blanched almonds or candied peel.
