| 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. | 2. In a medium bowl, mix the cinnamon, clove & walnuts together. Set aside. | 3. Brush the bottom of a 12x20 baking dish with butter. | 4. Place one pastry sheet in the dish & brush it with butter. Repeat this process so that 6 pastry sheets line the bottom of the dish. | 5. TIP: I pour my lukewarm butter in a spray bottle & mist the butter over the phyllo sheets. It prevents tearing & goes by so much quicker! Make sure you buy a misting bottle, not one that just streams -- it will make a big mess! | 6. Sprinkle 1/3 of the nut mixture over top of the pastry sheets. Repeat this process so there are 3 layers of the nut mixture & 4 layers of the 6 buttered pastry sheets. | 7. Cut the baklava into diamond shapes (making parallel horizontal lines in the dish & making diagonal lines vertically in the dish). | 8. Bake baklava for 40 minutes or until golden brown. | 9. While cooking, heat the sugar, water, orange peel, lemon peel & cinnamon stick to a boil & then simmer for 5 minutes. | 10. Add honey and bring mixture to a boil. | 11. Remove pan from heat and add lemon juice. | 12. Stir together and set aside to cool. | 13. Remove lemon peel, orange peel and cinnamon stick. | 14. Spread the cooled syrup evenly over the hot baklava. | 15. Cover with a dish towel and let sit for one hour before serving. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
