The Dutch cherries are very sweet&tasty in August, that's why kids love them! Quick and easy you can create a beautiful British trifle with cherries. For kids with syrup, adults replace the syrup by cherry brandy, after good British custom. A little booz in the trifle is always pleasant of course.
TIP! For safety reasons use two kinds of glasses so the alcoholic trifles don't go to the kids.
