Cut the trifle sponges in half
horizontally and sandwich the halves
together with the jam.
Pour the custard over the sponges,
fruit, and biscuits in the glass bowl.
Cover the surface of the custard with a
sheet of cling film, to prevent a skin from
forming, and chill until set, preferably
overnight (to let the flavours mingle).

Line the bottom of a glass serving bowl
with the trifle sponges, and arrange
the fruit and biscuits on top. Drizzle over
the sherry and reserved fruit juice, and
leave to soak while you make the custard.
