BAKLAVA 
1 lb. phyllo (Omega Brand)
1 lb. butter, melt slow and draw salt (do this by putting a paper towel over the melted butter)
1 lb. walnuts
1/2 lb. almonds
1/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cinnamon

Grind these very fine, if any chunks grind again. Add sugar and cinnamon to nuts.

In large pan, lay 6 sheets phyllo, butter the top, then begin layering phyllo, butter and nut mixture. (I usually put 2 layers of phyllo.) When nuts are all gone, put 4-5 layers of phyllo, one at a time, layering butter between each layer. Cut in diamond squares and insert whole cloves in top of each square. Bake 1/2 hour at 375 degrees, 1/2 hour at 350 degrees.

4 c. sugar
2 c. water
1/2 c. clear honey
1 stick cinnamon
1 slice lemon

Bring to boil; let cool. Pour over hot pastry.
