Ingredients

1. 3 cups finely chopped walnuts, almonds, or a mix

2. 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3. 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

4. 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

5. 1 pound phyllo pastry, preferably extra-thin

6. 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, melted

7. 1-1/2 cups sugar

8.1 cup water

9. 1/4 cup honey

10. 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel

11. 2 tablespoons lemon juice

12. 2 inches stick cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine nuts, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves in a bowl.

3. Brush a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan with melted butter. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo in pan. Lightly brush with butter; cover with another sheet of phyllo, and butter again. Layer phyllo and butter 8 more times, ending with phyllo.

4. Sprinkle phyllo with nut mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo over, brush with butter, and cover with a sheet of phyllo.Repeat layering with 5 more layers Sprinkle with nut mixture.Layer with nut mixture in such a way that you have a thick layer at the bottom and a thinner second layer.

5. Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the pastry (1/4 inch deep) diagonally into diamonds (about 2 inches long). Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, place sugar, cinnamon stick, lemon peel and honey and 1 cup water in a saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer for 20 minutes
