TOO HOT TAMALES SHOW #TH6304 Mix strawberries, wine and 2 tablespoons sugar in small bowl. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon almonds. Fold 1 corner of phyllo over custard; continue folding as for flag, forming triangle and enclosing filling completely.

Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter, custard and almonds. Transfer pastries to buttered baking sheet. Brush pastries with remaining butter mixture. Bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes.
