Today is Holiday Recipe Club Day!! You might be wondering what we are celebrating in June 5th, it is Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in the UK. This is a celebration that marks 60 years on the throne for Queen Elizabeth II. This is the second International Holiday we have celebrated, hopefully you are enjoying them.
I was really going to rock this challenge. I mean my dad was born in England, his mom was born and raised there, her family is still there. How could I not represent, and bring something great? Well time got away from me 🙁 The ingredients for today were Jam, Tea, or Worcestershire sauce. I had big plans for jam. First I has the idea to make a traditional Roly-Poly. It is similar to a Swiss Roll, filled with jam and then served with custard. Then I had big plans to make mini Bakewell Tarts. This is a flaky pastry crust filled with a layer of jam, and then topped with an egg/almond filling.
In the end, I didn’t have time to bake, so I went with a Triffle. An English Triffle uses a layer of jam, same flavor as the fruit you are using. I decided to do little shooters instead of a full blown trifle. They are fun, easy, and great for just a little something sweet after a meal. I went the easy way with all store bought stuff (sorry), but feel free to make your own pound cake, and pudding, and whipped cream.

I love this idea! I love mini sizes of anything so this really floats my boat! 🙂 Don’t feel bad….I went with a recipe that has NOTHING to do with the theme.
Gorgeous little trifles! Every time I see trifles I am reminded of the Friend’s episode where Rachel messes up the recipe and it ends up having beef and peas with jam and whipped cream haha. These look MUCH better than hers haha
Oh my gosh!! How cute are these!! And shooters means that it’s ok to eat three right?
I’m so sad I couldn’t participate in todays Holiday Recipe Club. Your Englis Trifle looks beautiful and tasty!
This looks delicious and so pretty. Great idea for summer. Thanks for sharing!
This looks SO cute. I can’t help but immediately think of that Friends episode when I hear ‘English trifle’ though lol
This is like, the prettiest thing ever. And sometimes these are even better than baked goods!
These are just beautiful 🙂
Simple, beautiful and delicious! What a nice post for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. I watched a part of it while I was baking at the kitchen today.
I enjoyed hearing about your heritage. I have a lot of family in England too. 🙂 I enjoyed watching the Queen’s Jubilee on CNN today. I love a good trifle and these little shooters are wonderful. 🙂
