Name: Raspberries Baked in Phyllo
Ingredients: 1 Box phyllo dough; Water to brush on phyllo; 4 c Fresh raspberries; 1/3 c Sugar; 2 tb Cornstarch; 1 ts Lemon zest; 1 ts Lemon juice; Melted butter to brush over; Phyllo; Powdered sugar for garnish

The word “transformed” in 2 Corinthians 3:18 is from the Greek verb “metamorphoo.” It is where we derive our English word, “metamorphosis.” When I think of a metamorphosis, I think of a butterfly. Before Christ, you lived for self. You were a slave to sin and Satan and your spiritual state in the eyes of God was like an ugly caterpillar. But due to Christ’s work on the cross, you are now a beautiful butterfly in His eyes. And while that is your nature positionally before Him, you have the ability with Him to be transformed practically to be more like Him too. As God is the epitome of moral beauty, His children should (should I say “will”) be growing into that beauty as we behold our God and undergo an ongoing beautiful metamorphosis by the power of the Holy Spirit. Practically speaking, all Christians are moving from an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly as they mature in their faith.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Thaw phyllo according to package directions.
Rinse and drain berries. In a large bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch and zest
together. Fold in berries, crushing some to release juices to make a syrupy
liquid. Mix until well combined. Sprinkle in lemon juice and toss well.
Line one 9-inch pie plate with 2 sheets of phyllo. Add raspberry mixture
and brush overhanging phyllo with water. Flap overhang over berries to form
a package. Line a second 9- inch pie plate with one sheet of phyllo and
invert first pie plate with berries into second. Brush overhang with water
and fold over top. Continue lining empty pie plate with sheet of phyllo,
flip berry package into it, brush overhang with water and flap over top.
Use a total of about 8 sheets of dough. Wipe out empty pie plate and spray
with nonstick cooking spray. Layer 4 sheets phyllo, criss-crossed, in pie
plate. Brush all over with water. Flip berry package into center of pie
plate and gather up corners of phyllo, twisting into a ruffled topknot in
center. Brush over all with melted butter. Bake 30 minutes or until golden
brown and puffy. Serve dusted with powdered sugar.
