I had a trifle disaster this crimbo....
Got a Birds trifle, made it up as directed and then added some Sherry. Then hubbs added some because i couldn't remember if i'd put any in. Then drained a tin of fruit cocktail and added that. Consequently the bloody thing wouldn't set. So... put it all in a pan - melted it down, and added more Jelly crystals. My logic was that if i added more Jelly crystals and no water then the bloody thing would become thicker and set.
Nope. I ended up with a gloopy mess that smelled grim. I too flushed it down the lav, so apologies to any Welsh bat's who have been noticing a foul smell - was me trifle......
I never said i was Delia Smith....
