for the Custard Filling
1/2 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons flour
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1/4 cup water
Gelatin glazed topping
unflavored gelatin (1 packet)
1 1/2 cups fruit cocktail syrup
1 cup water
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions:

Custard Filling:.
Combine and stir constantly sugar, flour, yolks, milk, 1/4 cup water in a saucepan (waterbath when heated so it doesn’t get burnt) until it thickens and becomes creamy (about 10-15mins). Make sure there are no lumps.
Remove from heat and cool.
Gelatin glazed topping:
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan, heating and mixing for 5-10 mins until dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.
To assemble
Cut the sponge cake into 2 layers.
Spread 1/2 of the custard filling on top of first layer making sure to even it out.
Arrange 1/2 canned fruits on top of custard.
Repeat layering, this time I used sliced peaches and I picked cherries from the canned fruit cocktail for toppings
Pour gelatin mixture on top of the final layer ; completely covering the fruits if possible.
Chill in the fridge until the gelatin is set.
Serve.
