"This is my second order for your oregano and
I would like to say that it is the "BEST" I have ever used. It is better,
much better, than my own home grown oregano. I want to thank you people for
a superior product that I absolutely love and so do the friends I share it
with...God Bless"

-
- Prepare the Confectioner's Custard:
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar in a pan until pale and fluffy.
Gradually stir in the flour until evenly mixed.
Bring the milk just to boiling point in another pan and add the vanilla or lemon rind, then remove from the heat.
Gradually add the hot milk to the egg yolk mixture then cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
Pour the custard into a bowl and leave to cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Prepare the Zuppa Inglese:
Reserve 8 fl oz (250 ml) of the confectioners custard.
Mix the cochineal with 1 tablespoon water in a shallow dish.
Mix the rum with 1 tablespoon water in another shallow dish.
Arrange a layer of sponge cake on the base of a broad glass dish, sprinkle with the cochineal mixture and pour on a layer of confectioner's custard.
Make another layer of sponge cake, sprinkle with the rum and pour on another layer of confectioner's custard.
Continue making alternating layers, ending with a layer of sponge cake.
Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and leave to stand for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, stiffly whip the cream.
Spread the reserved confectioner's custard on top of the last layer of sponge cake.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle with the whipped cream and use to decorate the trifle, then add crystallized fruit and chocolate chips or fresh berries. Serves 6.
