Bread, Tipsy

Cut a French roll into thin slices, and pare off the crusts, leaving it a nice round shape; spread raspberry, strawberry, or currant jam over each slice, and pile them one on the other in a glass dish. Pour over them as much sherry as the bread will absorb. Ornament it round with blanched almonds cut into very fine strips, and stick them also on the top; pour a custard round and serve. This is a quickly-prepared and cheap dish. Probable cost, 1s. 3d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
