True. If I wanted really fresh strawberries back then, I'd pick them
from the counter at the pick-it-yourself farm:-}}
NOTE: It is easier to use Jello Brand Custard Mix found at your
grocery store - works fine.
To make custard:
In a heavy saucepan, heat the milk and sugar to scalding. Whirl the
eggs in a blender while slowly pouring in the hot milk. Add vanilla
and cinnamon. If the custard does not thicken enoubh to coat a
spoon, return it to the pan and reheat it gentlym, stirring
constantly until it does thicken. Should the custard curdle slightly
while thickening, simply blend it again. Refergriate
Using a 7 or 8 inch plate as a guide, cut two circles from each sheet
of the filo. On buttered paking pans, stack the filo sheets, four
sheets to a stack, brussing every second sheet with melted butter.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until filo
is golden brown.
Assemble: Begin with one pair of filo circles. Spread all of the
conserve evenly over the bottom layer of filo and sprinkle on a few
of the chopped almonds. Add another pair of filo circles, some
almonds and some of the egg custard. Continue to layer the filo,
almonds and custard until all of the ingredients are used. End with
a pair of filo circles.
Sprinkle the pastry with confectioners' sugar and cut into six wedges.
Serve immediately.
