Just in case---
(Takes up to two days to prepare properly)
Break angel cake in medium size pieces, spread each
with small amount of Raspberry Jam, arrange in
straight sided glass bowl. Pour over the sherry and
weight down lightly with saucer and cover with plastic
wrap, set aside for a few hours. After sherry has
been absorbed, mix Jello according to directions, do
not use ice. Pour over cake and sherry in the bowl.
Cover and place in refrigerator for several hours or
overnight until jello is set. Before serving, prepare
Vanilla Pudding mix and pour over top of jello, using
a knife to slide down sides of bowl to allow some of
the pudding to go down sides. Cover and chill again.
Garnish with cherries and mint, or use some of the
candied holiday fruits to decorate top of bowl. When
serving, be sure to slide spoon to the bottom of the
bowl for each serving, not only for the colors of the
different layers, but to be sure each serving gets the
flavor of the sherry. Top with a small dollop of Cool
Whip Lite.
If you're not watching sugar content or calories, the
same recipe can be made with regular jam, regular
jello and regular pudding mix. Looks best in a
straight sided glass bowl. This has been a family
favorite for Christmas since my childhood.
