Canned cherries in syrup...

Would these go alright in a trifle for xmas?I've had a jar in the pantry for a couple of years and thought it would be nice and Christmassy, just worried they may be too sour?

They are relatively sour but will be lovely with the sweetness of everything else in the trifle.

Thanks gardie, I thought the colour would be great too.

Hi.. taste them before you add them so you know whether they've kept ok.. I have a jar of cherries.. about two years also.. will try them before using them..

Good idea Julie, I have canned peaches or apricots as backup.I'm growing strawberries but whether there would be enough ripe on the day.Plus I want something with plenty of liquid as I won't be using alcohol in it.
