Spumoni

This recipe goes back to early marriage, which happens to be forty years ago this week! We were both in school and on a very strict budget. As I recall we had $25 a week for food, alcohol, and entertainment. I shopped at the A&P right behind our apartment in Chapel Hill, NC. I managed to squirrel away $1 every other week and finally completed a set of cookbooks the grocery store was promoting. I really, really needed those books. And I actually studied them. They were in alphabetical order, but also had sections dealing with various countries and cuisines. And they contained a recipe for Spumoni--sounded very exotic to me, but looked relatively easy. I had certainly never heard of it. I know I've changed this recipe over the years, and hope I have changed it enough to qualify as not outright stealing. I think the books were put out by Woman's Day, but could be wrong. It was a long time ago!
