This holiday trifle is perfect because, except for the whipped cream, it can all be made the day before. In fact it is better if it is made the day before.

Make fabulous cranberry sauce from scratch.....
6 cups cranberries
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup apple cider (or orange juice)
1 t. cardamom
1 t. allspice (I use Chinese 5 spice instead)
I did not give an alternate because there is NO good substitute for homemade cranberry sauce and it is so easy to make.
Custard
Make 4 cups rich custard from scratch or ...........
2 pkg Jello "Cook & Serve" custard mix with 4 egg yolks
Do not substitute vanilla pudding mix. Yuk!
Pound Cake
Bake large pound cake from scratch or.......
2 pound cake mixes
Mix according to directions
Bake 25 min. in four 8" cake pans
4 cups Sherry
Then it is a layer of cranberries, a layer of cake brushed with sherry, cranberries, layer of custard, layer of cake brushed with sherry, layer of cranberries, layer of custard and so on. Then all is mounded with real whipped cream... Because I have to transport this in the car, I am taking the whipped cream separate and applying it on site. Because of the size of the crowd I filled this more full than usual... Now it will sit overnight in the frig with all the flavors blending deliciously.
