Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Karen Mintzias 4 tb Granulated sugar
2 lb Phyllo pastry sheets 3 ts Cinnamon
1 1/2 lb Sweet butter; melted 1/2 ts Ground cloves
4 lb Walnut meats; finely chopped

---------------------------SYRUP--------------------------------
4 c Granulated sugar 1/2 Lemon (juice only)
2 c Water 1 sm Jar of honey

Take 4 sheets of phyllo pastry, keeping remaining sheets covered with
a damp towel. Brush each sheet with melted butter and lay one on top
of the other. Mix walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Sprinkle
some of the mixture evenly over the top buttered sheet and set the
pieces upright in a large buttered pan. Continue, using another 4
buttered sheets of phyllo, sprinkling with nut mixture, rolling and
cutting, until the pan or pans are full and all the nut mixture is
used. Spoon about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each piece, and
continue baking for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
from oven and dip each piece into cold thick syrup. Drain on cake
racks.

Syrup: In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, lemon juice
and small jar of honey. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes,
removing scum as it rises to the surface.
