Baklava ( Papadakis Taverna)

 Categories: Desserts 
      Yield: 12 servings 
  
      5 ts Cinnamon 
      3 c  Coarsley chopped walnuts 
      1 lb Sweet butter; melted 
      1 lb Phyllo pastry sheets 
     40    Whole cloves 
      1    2" strip of orange peel 
      1    2" strip of lemon peel 
      1    Cinnamon stick 
    1/3 c  Honey 
    1/2    Lemon; juiced 
  
  In a medium bowl place the cinnamon and walnuts, and mix them together. 
  Brush the bottom of a 14" x 20" baking dish with the butter.  Place one 
  pastry sheet in the dish and brush it with the butter.  Repeat this 
  process so that 6 pastry sheets line the bottom of the dish. 
  Sprinkle 1/3 of the nut mixture over the top of the pastry sheets.  Repeat 
  this process so that there are 3 layers of the nut mixture and 4 layers of 
  6 buttered pastry sheets, ending with 6 pastry sheets. 
  Cut the baklava into 40 diamond shaped pieces.  Insert a whole clove in 
  the top of each piece. 
  Preheat the oven to 350 F.  Bake the baklava for 40 minutes, or until it 
  is golden brown.  In a medium saucepan place the sugar, water, orange 
  peel, lemon peel, and cinnamon stick.  Bring the ingredients to a boil and 
  then simmer them for 5 minutes. 
  Add the honey and bring the mixture to a boil.  Remove the pan from the 
  heat and add the lemon juice.  Stir the ingredients together and then let 
  the syrup cool.  Remove the orange and lemon peels, and the cinnamon 
  stick. 
  Spread the cool syrup over the hot baklava.  Cover the dish with a towel 
  and let it sit for 1 hour before serving.
