Method

Heat fresh and dried blueberries and preserves in a sauepan and boil 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and cool. Beat goat cheese and almond paste and set aside. Lay out 1 sheet of filo, brush with oil and sprinkle lightly with almonds. Top with another sheet of filo. Continue this until you have 6 sheets stacked. Spread cheese and almond mixture on top of the stack leaving a 1 inch border around the outside. Add bluberry mixture and then 2 sheets of filo, oiling each layer. Fold short sides in 1 inch and then roll from the long side until all rolled up. Lay seam side down on a non-stick pan or cooking sheet and brush with oil and sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until browned, then let rest for 10 minutes before slicing across into slices 1 1/2 to 2 inch wide. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
