I’ve done one of these Christmas/End of Year post every year so I feel like I should continue this tradition. My only fear is that is seems a bit ‘click-baity’ but sure here we are.
End of Year Post 2017

Pomegranate and Raspberry Trifle
Sherry Trifle and Christmas go hand in hand in my home. I remember every Christmas Eve as a child watching my mother make the trifle. Trifles sponges soaked, and I mean soaked, in sherry put into the special trifle bowl, jelly poured over and a tin of fruit. The sponge sort of disintegrated into the […]
