CANADA DAY THREE BERRY TRIFLE

Canada Day Three Berry Trifle image

Trifle is my favourite dessert and I have been making it for decades, probably not the same way twice! A good dessert to make when you are doing other things and can walk away and come back to it as you have time. Reserve a few pieces of each fruit for garnish.
