Preparation

Step 1

* In a bowl, combine the jam, water, orange juice and half of the Grand Marnier.

* Mix well. The mixture should be liquidy. Set aside

* In a bowl, combine the mascarpone and the remaining Grand Marnier.

* Mix well. Set aside.

* In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the whipping cream with the sugar, vanilla extract and remaining 1 tablespoon of Grand Marnier.

* Beat until stiff peaks form.

* Take a quarter of the whipped cream mixture and stir into the mascarpone to lighten the mascarpone.

* Add the remaining whipped cream mixture and fold gently into the mascarpone mixture. Set aside.

* Spread 1/2 of the jam mixture in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. The mixture will be very liquidy but do not worry, the ladyfingers will absorb the liquid.

* Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the lemon zest over the jam mixture.

* Line the bottom of the dish with ladyfingers, making sure to fill in every spot. Break the ladyfingers into smaller pieces in order to make them fit it neccessary.

* Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.

* Layer half of the sliced strawberries over the mascarpone.

* Spread the remaining jam mixture over the strawberries.

* Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon zest over the strawberries and jam.

* Create a second layer of ladyfingers over the strawberries and jam. (Again, being sure to completely fill in the layer.)

* Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

Chill for at least 12 hours before serving.
