Ciao Pandora, what would you use if you did not have alchermes? I
don't think I have ever seen that...

It was unfamiliar to me too, but I found out it's traditional for
zuppa inglese. Guess that shows how many I've eaten in my life! I
googled for a substitute and surprise, surprise - I found something
http://www.ciaoitalia.com/seasons/7/...sh-trifle-cake I think
I'd like it with Chambord and what a good excuse to buy some.

Well, I would put something red, such as a a raspberry liqueur if you
have it. You need something red to make contrast with rum layer.

I didn't know zuppa ingelise had to have colored layers, Pandora, but
Chambord is raspberry liqueur - so that problem is solved.
