9 A moment of Port Isaac RNLI history

A moment of history took place on The Platt at this years Port Isaac RNLI Annual Service, presided over by Station Chaplain Father John May. At the end of the service a re-presentation of medals for gallantry was made to three crewmembers relating to a significant rescue operation carried out in April 2012. The presentations were made by Commodore Jamie Miller CBE, Royal Naval Regional Commander Wales and Western England. Senior Helmsman Damien Bolton and crew members Nicki Bradbury and Matt Main received Silver and Bronze medals respectively awarded for the part they played in this mission - details of which were covered in the June issue of Trio. In addition, a formal presenation of a framed Vellum was made to ex Senior helmsman Kevin Dingle by fellow retired crewman and DLA John Collins recognising his years of service to the RNLI. Reference was made to the part he played in a particularly dangerous rescue mission carried out at Bossiney Cove back in 1998. Chairman Bob Bulgin also presented Kevin with an engraved RNLI Shield of thanks on behalf of the Committee. Following the presentations Damien, Nicki and Matt invited all those attending back to the Lifeboat Station for a celebration Cream Tea, Pimms, Doom Bar and Pasties sponsored by Barnecutts, Sharps Brewery and crew.

I made the mistake of thinking that I had everything organised early this year, like sponsors for the polo shirts, prizes, golf club etc ... but as usual , last minute withdrawals plus a few other little problems ensured that the pre-weekend to the event became the usual frenzy of activity. However, the storm clouds parted and reasonable weather gave us a great day out at Trethorne.

The banter had started earlier in the week with rivals digging at each other over the 'interweb'. I had the feeling that most of the matches were going to be hard fought battles and this proved to be the case.

A very hearty breakfast welcomed the protagonists and the handing out of team shirts sparked the event into life. The usual jostling around the team sheets to see who had drawn who and off we went in heavily laden golf buggies. Four hours later and the green times had been completed and The Slipway had opened up a healthy lead by 5½ to 1½.

There is no more classic British dessert than Trifle and although this Strawberry Trifle recipe takes a little bit of time to construct, and make all the components, it will make the perfect version of this popular dessert. This recipe it is all about the stages and layers, each one needs to be fully complete before the next one, and each layer needs time given so it can set.

ʻTrifleʼ actually has hundreds of years of heritage, being one of the first dishes to be fully developed by English Chefs. The earliest known use of the name ʻtrifleʼ was for a thick cream, flavoured with sugar, ginger and rosewater that was a recipe published in 1596 in London, in a book by Thomas Dawson. Yet it wasnʼt until sixty years later, when milk was added, and the custard was poured over alcohol soaked bread, that we begin to see it take shape as a layered dessert – with the fruit and jelly being a much later addition to the recipe, coming in the 20th Century. Strawberry Trifle Note: You can make the Strawberry Sponge Roll and the Strawberry Juice for the Strawberry Jelly the day before and if you're short of time buy the sponge roll and use strawberry jelly. For The Strawberry Sponge Roll 4 large free-range eggs Icing sugar, to dust 2 tbsp caster sugar 100g caster sugar, plus extra to dust 2 tbsp strawberry liqueur (optional) 3 tbsp strawberry conserve 100g self-raising flour 300g strawberries 2 tbsp toasted flaked almonds Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5. Grease and line a large, flat, roasting tin measuring about 25 x 35cm and 3cm thick, with baking parchment, leaving the edges of the parchment sticking up around the sides. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl for www.portisaacmusicfestival.co.uk about 10 minutes until the mixture is pale, creamy and tripled in volume. Sift the flour over the mixture in batches, carefully folding it in after each addition. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, spread it evenly into the corners and smooth the surface. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the sponge turns golden and feels slightly springy when pressed. Cut a piece of baking parchment slightly larger than the size of the tin and lay it flat on the work surface. Dust with caster sugar. Remove the tin from the oven and pull the parchment to loosen the sponge from the sides. Invert the sponge on to the sugared parchment and peel away the lining. Drizzle with a little strawberry liqueur, (if using). Roll the long edge of the cake and parchment over to form a neat log, use the parchment to help you, then leave the sponge to cool, rolled inside the parchment. Meanwhile, hull and quarter the strawberries and put them into a bowl, sprinkle with the caster sugar, stir to coat and leave for 5 minutes. Unroll the sponge again, and leaving a 2cm border all the way around the edges, spread the strawberry conserve, or Home-made Strawberry Jam, over the unrolled sponge, followed by the fresh strawberry quarters, and sprinkle the almond flakes on top. Then roll the long edge of the cake over to form a neat log, (tightly) using the parchment to help you. Making sure that the seam side of the roll is facing down, chill for at least 30 minutes before using in the trifle (can be left overnight). Slice into 3cm thick circles when ready.

For The Strawberry Jelly For The Custard 600g strawberries, sliced 40g caster sugar 250ml of whole milk 250ml of double cream 8g silver leaf gelatine, soaked in water 250ml British sparkling 1 vanilla pod (or quality vanilla essence) white wine 6 fresh egg yolks 50g of caster sugar log on to Make the night before: To make the strawberry juice for the Proper English Custard is a mix of sugar, egg yolks, cream and www.thisisnorthcornwall.co.uk jelly, mix the sliced strawberries (400g) with the sugar and milk, flavoured with vanilla place in a glass heat proof bowl cover well with cling film.

When the gelatine has dissolved, transfer the the custard to a medium heat for a few minutes – stir continuously mixture to a bowl, leave to cool then refrigerate until partially with a spoon until it is thick enough to coat the back of it, and then set – about 1 or 2 hours.
