3. Take 2 sheets of phyllo at a time (keep the remainder covered with a damp cloth). Spray the top of one sheet with cooking spray and lay the other sheet on top, then fold the two sheets together in half lengthwise, so you have a long rectangle that's about 4 to 5 inches wide by 13 to 15 inches long (depending on the size of the phyllo sheets). Repeat with other phyllo sheets.

Repeat with other phyllo sheets.
4. Use a slotted spoon to divide filling among the phyllo sheets. Try to lift mainly the berries, leaving the juices behind. Place berries on the far left side of the rectangle. Fold the phyllo from the left corner over the filling at an angle, forming a triangle shape on the left with the rest of the phyllo pastry to the right. Keep folding the triangle section over to the right 3 to 4 more times (depending on the length), so all the filling is sealed into the pastry. The final shape should be a triangle.
