Can i use something besides Sherry to moisten sponge cakes and flavor custard for a trifle?

Question

I don't want to use Alcohol, wine, or liqueur

Its a raspberry trifle.

Answer 1

You could use a light sugar water but where's the fun in that?  I'd use brandy myself!

Answer 2

I usually use raspberry jam just beat it a little to loosen it =]

Answer 3

You can cook the alcohol OUT of the liqeur and it will have the same taste but no booze!

Answer 4

You can use any fruit juice. Or jam that has been heated and thinned with some water.
