Strawberry Trifle

What's in season before spring and summer? Christine Snow from Foodland Ontario is here to show you how you can cook with Ontario greenhouse fruits and veggies right now!

A summer fruit trifle is one of the fastest and simplest desserts to make. This one uses a supermarket pound cake, a can of Devon custard, bottled or homemade strawberry jam and halved Ontario Strawberries. Traditional trifle uses either sherry or port, but if you prefer, they can be replaced with apple juice.
