Baklava (Greek Dessert):
Filling:
1 lb sliced almonds (yuck! I'll have to get rid of this!)
2 tbsp cinnamon
A few shakes of clove
Sauce:
1 cup honey
½ cup water
2 cups sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vanilla
Other:
Melted unsalted butter
1 package fillo pastry
Mix the fillings in a bowl. In a pot heat the sauce ingredients and let boil for five minutes. In a large oven safe baking pan brush with butter. Lay down six sheets of pastry buttering each. Then add ¼ of mixture spreading evenly. Add another four sheets of pastry buttering each and add another ¼ of the mixture. Repeat this last step until all of the filling has been added. Make sure the top of the pan has four sheets of fillo ontop and butter well. Then cut the baklava in squares being sure all layers are cut through. Pour the sauce over pan. Bake in oven on 350 degrees F for aprox 30-40min or until golden brown.
