The Pumpkin Peach Trifle has canned pumpkin added to a basic yellow-cake-mix layered with a combination of fresh sliced peaches and apples. Jell-O has provided us with even more variety than our moms had when they first served this popular treat because now you can buy cheese cake and even pumpkin-spice Jell-O pudding to alternate with the traditional vanilla pudding for added flavor. The beauty of the English trifle is that there are no rules, so use the fruit that you like and combine any way you want.
