Meet the Cook: The first time I served my trifle was for a family dinner. Everyone loved it! I've since found that it also goes over well at potlucks and at buffet dinners. Both of our children are grown. My husband and I have a market garden. -Betty Howlett, Elmira, Ontario

Ingredients

3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
3 cups milk
4 egg yolks, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen pound cake, thawed
3/4 cup raspberry jam
3 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed and drained
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour into a large bowl and cover with waxed paper. Chill 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut cake into 3/4-in. slices; spread with jam. Cut each slice into thirds; place with jam side up in a 3-qt. trifle dish or deep salad bowl. Cover with berries. Top with custard.
Cover and chill overnight. Just before serving, whip cream and sugar until stiff; spread over custard. Garnish with almonds and berries if desired. Yield: 10-12 servings.
