Princes Brekkie Giveaway

This competition is now CLOSED

Thank you for all the entries.

The winner, selected using random.org, is number 1 - Jenny. Congratulations!





I was asked to take part in the Princes Brekkie campaign and received this hamper full of fruity goodies to try.

One of my children is a fruit monster, the other needs a little cajoling. Tinned fruit and fruit juices are a big help to me. If we run out of fresh fruit I know that tinned fruit still counts as part of our Five-a-day so I always keep some handy. Also, who can resist the cherries in fruit cocktail? My four year old fruit-dodger can't and they both love fruit juice.

There are some great recipes on the Princes website. Here is one of my own:

Sandy's Speedy, Cheap and Cheerful Trifle

  • Tin of fruit cocktail, drained (save the fruit juice for breakfast)
  • Block of jelly, any flavour
  • Value range jam and cream swiss roll
  • Instant custard
  • Cream for whipping
  • Chocolate buttons or hundreds and thousands for decoration

This recipe is so simple and easy for the children to help with, from step 4 onwards.

  1. Make the custard in a jug and allow to cool 
  2. Make the jelly in a jug, ready to pour.
  3. Whip the cream
  4. Slice the swiss roll and lay in a large glass bowl
  5. Pour over the fruit cocktail
  6. Pour over the jelly. Allow to set in the fridge
  7. Once the jelly is set, pour over the custard
  8. Whip the cream and spread over the custard
  9. Decorate

Serves loads of children or four greedy adults at a retro dinner party.

You're welcome!

    Got to be pears! Fresh ones are so unpredictable, but tinned ones always seem to be just right. Oh and I've tweeted too!

    My favourite fruit is a good old fashioned banana! Unless it's poached pears in cinnamon and port!

    My favourite fruit is the blueberry - mainly because they are Bud's favourites and always put a huge smile on his face! @RedRoseMummy
