We’ve been here since 1888, 135
years, it feels like yesterday, so
we’ve found 135 of our absolute
favourite things to share with you.
Take a seat, make a cuppa, and
have a spoonful of tri昀氀e. Not just
any old tri昀氀e though, Mrs Beeton’s
very own 1880s recipe.
494.-GOOSEBERRY TRIFLE.
IngredIents. - 1 quart of gooseberries,
sugar to taste, l pint of custard (No. 491),
a plateful whipped cream.
Mode - Put the gooseberries into a
jar, with moist sugar to sweeten, and boil
them until reduced to a pulp. Put this pulp
at the bottom of a tri昀氀e-dish; pour over a
pint of custard (recipe No. 491), and, when
cold, cover with whipped cream. The cream
should be whipped the day before it is wanted
for table, as it will then be so much 昀椀rmer
and more solid. Garnish as fancy dictates.
Time, about ¾ hour to boil the
gooseberries. Average cost, ls. 6d. Suf昀椀cient
for 1 tri昀氀e. Seasonable in May and June.
