- Hull and halve 400g strawberries and tip into a saucepan with the lemon juice and sugar. Heat over a low heat, stirring regularly, until the strawberries have released their juices and the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer for 6 mins, stirring occasionally. Pour into a heatproof bowl, add 1 mint sprig and set aside to cool for 10 mins. Chill in the fridge for 1 hr, then remove the mint and stir in 2 tbsp Summer Cup.
- When the jam has cooled, lay the Swiss roll on a chopping board and drizzle over the remaining 1½ tbsp Summer Cup. Lay 4 slices on the bottom of a deep, 20cm trifle dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the cream to soft peaks, then add the yogurt and vanilla and whisk back to soft peaks. Finely chop 1 basil leaf and 5 mint leaves and fold into the cream with 2 crushed meringues and ¾ of the jam until just swirled through. Layer the dish with some berry cream, custard, the remaining jam, cake, most of the strawberries and nectarines, more meringue and the remaining berry cream. Top with the remaining meringue, fruit, mint and basil leaves and the almonds.
