  1. Place honey, sugar, water and orange peel into a heavy saucepan and simmer syrup for 10 minutes after it has come to a boil. Set aside and allow to cool.
  2. Place nuts in processor and pulse until they are small pieces, but not minced. Pour into a bowl add cinnamon, ground cloves, orange zest and sugar and blend.
  3. Get a 9 X 13 pan and spray with Pam or similar product, lay a sheet of filo dough down, it will over lap and that is fine, butter the filo with a brush add 6 more sheets of filo. Pour 1/3 of nut mixture on this last sheet, fold the overlapping filo over this. Place another piece of filo over the folded filo and nuts, brush with butter, do this 2 more times, buttering each piece of filo. Do not worry about the overlap, you will again fold this on to the nuts. Add the next 3rd of the nut mixture, again add 3 filo sheets and butter between them, at the 3rd sheet pour remaining 1/3 of the nuts and fold the overlap on top of the nuts. Now place 6 more sheets of filo on top of the last of the nuts, buttering each sheet lightly. With all the remaining overlapping filo, tuck it into the sides with a dull knife or a rubber spatula, making it look neat and tidy. Butter the top and go down into the sides. Allow it to sit for a few minutes (10) and cut the pieces the size you would like. Place in a 350 oven for 25-30 minutes. Watch closely and check after 20 minutes making sure it does not burn. After the baklava looks brown and beautiful, pull it out and pour the cool syrup all over the dessert. Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before pulling out a piece. It is best if you let it sit a few hours. But who can wait?
