What is more British (and delicious!) than a beautiful raspberry trifle with honey and sherry? Perfect to go with a proper cup of tea!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup dry sherry
- 1 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 4 cups raspberries
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 pounds favorite pound cake
Directions
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup water, 1 cup sherry, and lemon juice, stirring to dissolve honey, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool.
- In a small bowl, combine jam with 3 cups raspberries, mashing slightly. In a large bowl, whip cream and 2 tablespoons sugar to stiff peaks.
- Slice pound cake 3/4 inch thick; brush both sides of slices with lemon/sherry syrup.
- Fit 1/3 of slices snugly in the bottom of a 4-quart trifle dish or other glass bowl, trimming edges if necessary. Gently spread top of layer with 1/3 of raspberry mixture, and then 1/3 of whipped cream. Repeat to make two more layers; garnish with remaining cup raspberries. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 24 hours.

The Honey Raspberry Trifle looks amazingly good, almost too pretty to eat. But, if I had it in front of me, I would absolutely eat it. This is dangerous stuff. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
You’re welcome!
Fyi, I’m almost done extracting the honey!! 🙂
This looks so lovely
It tastes even better!! 🙂 xo Deb
Looks so delicious we can just lick the computer screen. Thanks for sharing, we have to try!
I love this dessert more than chocolate, and that’s saying a lot!!
This was my late mother-in-law’s signature dish. No family dinner was complete without a trifle.
I hope mine measures up to hers!! 🙂
Salivating…. yum, yum, yum
Let’s think of something to celebrate!! 🙂
The Olympics?…. (because nobody is talking about that) 😉
Why is that? When I was in London a few weeks ago, you wouldn’t even know they were happening. It was all Jubilee and Wimbledon….
Really? I was teasing, because it seems to be everywhere……… I thought it would be all over the place in London? x
Nope. At least when I was there. I would mention the Olympics and people would stare at me for a minute (longer than usual) and then remember that they were happening.
Well I never….
The Dutch have a tremendous weakness for all things high tea. Sherry trifle is definitely amongst these things. I suspect the addition of honey only makes it more toothsome!
This makes sense, since I have Dutch ancestors!! In my opinion, honey makes everything taste better!!

Mmmm, where’s my grocery list . . . raspberry jam! I just love using honey instead of sugar for desserts. And this dish is so wonderfully summery.
It is kind of summery, isn’t it? Perfect for a Shower or a Ladies’ Lunch. 🙂
By the way, thank you for all your kind words about me!! I wish I were that marvelous!! xo Deb
You certainly are a very busy person…you make your Honey Raspberry Trifle…that takes time, photograph it, that takes more time, and then you get into a huge project of extracting your honey combs and cleaning up. How long is your day? I’ve done some photography work so I know that setting up a shot like your dessert takes some time. I haven’t extracted honey, but I’ve read about it. Are you good at working 16 hour days? Oh, and you still have time to blog… 🙂
I didn’t do anything else this weekend!! 🙂
gorgeous! It reminds me of a New Years party 30 odd years ago that my parents threw. Their friends from ‘across the pond’ brought a trifle and it stole the show.

It’s time for you to make one too!! 🙂
Ok you have given me a good reason to get that trifle bowl I’ve been looking at. A celebration to look at but of course I would eat some and share the rest.
