- Sprinkle the gelatine over the remaining 4 tablespoons water in a small bowl and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
- Puree the cooked strawberries in a liquidiser or food processor with the raspberries then press the puree through a sieve back into the saucepan.
- Add the bowl of gelatine to a small saucepan of gently simmering water, so that the water is halfway up sides of the bowl. Heat for 4-5 minutes until the gelatine becomes a clear liquid.
- Stir into the fruit puree with the lemon juice.
Assemble The Party Berry Trifles:

- Top with the remaining sliced strawberries then cover with the fruit jelly.

- A few hours before serving, divide the custard between the trifle glasses. Lightly whip the cream with the vanilla and sugar then spoon over the custard.
- Return to the fridge with the jar lids until ready to serve. Add decorations, if using at the last minute.
