- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine the pistachios, hazelnuts, cloves, 1/4 c. of the sugar and 2 teaspoon of the cinnamon.
- Pulse till nuts are coarsely minced. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tbsp. sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Lay out 1 sheet of phyllo (keep remaining phyllo under a damp tea towel) and brush gently with some melted butter.
- Sprinkle with a little of the cinnamon mix.
- Lay another piece of phyllo on top and repeat the brushing and sprinkling of cinnamon mix, ending with a layer of phyllo which is only brushed with butter.
- Sprinkle with nut mix and the remaining sugar.
- Roll the phyllo into a cigar shape.
- Transfer the roll to prepared baking sheet and bake for about 35 to 40 min or possibly till browned and crisp.
- Remove from oven and cut the roll into 9 pcs.
- Let cold completely.
- Transfer pcs to a baking dish just large sufficient to hold them.
- Meanwhile, prepare syrup by combining water, honey and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, stirring, and remove from heat.
- Pour over cooled baklava and let stand about 30 to 90 min before serving for best flavour.
- I do not like my desserts cloyingly sweet so I added less sugar and honey to my baklava. Greek amber honey is available at Mediterranean or possibly Greek grocery stores.
- Yield is 9 pcs.
