Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 cups salted cashews
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 16 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
  • syrup:
  • 1-1/3 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 3 lemon slices
  • 2 whole cloves

Directions:

  1. For filling, in a food processor, combine the cashews, walnuts, sugar, cardamom, cinnamon and allspice. Cover and pulse until nuts are finely chopped. Brush a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan with some of the butter. Unroll phyllo dough; trim to fit into pan.
  2. Layer four sheets of phyllo dough in prepared pan, brushing each with butter. (Keep remaining dough covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Sprinkle with a third of the nut mixture. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with butter.
  3. Using a sharp knife, cut into 24 triangles. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the syrup ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard lemon slices and cloves. Pour over warm baklava. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and let stand overnight. Yield: 2 dozen.
