Prep: 30 min; Cook: 20 min; Chill: 3 hr

Prepare this trifle in a pretty glass serving bowl to show off the beautiful layers of cake, fruit and cream.


   1/2 cup sugar
   3 tablespoons cornstarch
   1/4 teaspoon salt
   3 cups milk
   1/2 cup dry sherry or other dry-white-wine or white-grape juice
   3 large eggs yolks, beaten
   3 tablespoons butter or stick margarine
   1 tablespoon vanilla extract
   2 (3-ounce) packages lady fingers (24)
   1/2 cup strawberry preserves
   1 pint (2 cups) strawberries, sliced or 1 package (10 ounces) frozen, sliced strawberries, thawed and drained
   1 cup whipping cream (heavy)
   2 tablespoons sugar
   2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted


1. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch and salt in 3-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in milk and sherry. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.

2. Gradually stir at least half of the hot mixture into egg yolks, then stir back into hot mixture in saucepan. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled.

3. Split ladyfingers horizontally in half. Spread cut sides with preserves. Layer one-fourth of the ladyfingers, cut sides up, half of the strawberries and half of the pudding in 2-quart serving bowl; repeat layers. Arrange remaining ladyfingers around edge of bowl in upright position with cut sides toward center. (It may be necessary to gently ease lady-fingers down into pudding about 1 inch so they remain upright.) Cover and refrigerate.

4. Beat whipping cream and 2 tablespoons sugar in chilled medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Spread over dessert. Sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate until serving. Store covered in refrigerator.

*Spreads with at least 65% vegetable oil can be used.
