Hi Pam. . your thread continues. . lovely to see it here still, with all the wealth of recipes it includes :-)

Something a bit different. . Ginger and Plum Trifle

I made a triple amount of Smiley-Cherub's Ginger Loaf last night, making it as a loaf and a cake, and tonight I've used some of it to make a trifle. .

I cut the loaf-pan size of it in half horizontally and lengthwise, spread raspberry jam on the length of each piece, then cut them into small squares, about 2cm square. .
Made custard that's a little thicker than usual.
Opened a jar of preserved plums.

I placed ginger loaf pieces around the bottom of a lovely bowl.
Drizzled plum juice over them all.
Placed whole plums through the loaf pieces.
Another layer of ginger loaf and plums, and more juice drizzled over the loaf pieces.
Poured the just-made custard over, using a knife to lift back loaf pieces so the custard went through all the loaf pieces and plums.
Covered with plastic wrap and chilled.
We served it like that, and you can decorate as you want. .

Delicious, with the spices in the loaf, the tangy plum flavour, smooth custard and extra tang of the raspberry jam.

A definite 'make-again' recipe. . :-)

For anyone wanting to make the ginger loaf, it's Smiley-Cherubs delicious recipe she posted here a few years ago -

Smiley-Cherub's Old fashioned Gingerbread Loaf...

MELT:
50gr butter
1 Tbsp golden syrup

ADD and mix in:
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar

SIFT and add:
1C plain flour
1tsp b/powder
2tsp ginger
1tsp mixed spice

MIX and add:
3/4C milk
1tsp b/soda

Whisk well together - mixture will be runny.

Pour into a baking paper lined loaf tin and cook at 180°C about 35 mins or ready when tested with skewer etc.

Enjoy. )

Julie, that sounds delicious. Might be a goodie to add to the ginger gems thread which ended up being anything with ginger in it!

small pavlovas Buy small pavolvas cut in half cause they are quite high put whipped cream on top then put strawberrries or flaked chocolate on top.

emmahelene, Jul 29, 12:17am
cakes Roll out sweet shortbread pastry and put in patty tins to make little cake shells bake when cooked put either lemon honey or caramel highlander condensed in them then put dab of whipped cream on top.

emmahelene, Jul 29, 12:27am
lemingtons How about lemingtons cut in half to cause they are big enough and put cream on each half and sprinkle chocolate or somthing on them. Went to a party where they made little tiny lemingtons, they were neat.
