½ cup seedless raspberry jam
½ cup Sherry or Marsala

Directions:
Cook pudding per package instructions. Slice sponge or pound cake into 1/4 inch slices. Spread cake slices with raspberry jam, then sprinkle with Sherry or Marsala and pineapple juice (from the canned pineapple). Line bottom of a trifle or glass bowl with cake. Cover with pudding, raspberries and pineapple. Repeat cake, pudding, raspberry and pineapple layers until the bowl is full or your are out of ingredients. Refrigerate overnight or several hours before serving. Before you serve, top with bananas, whipped cream and almonds.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a classic and looks great in any glass bowl. Since the dish is better when it has had time for the flavors to meld, it is the perfect dessert when you need to make your dessert the day before. While the classic dish calls for sponge cake, pound cake holds and tastes better.
