 1 1/2 lb Fine chopped walnuts
   1/2 c  Sugar
   1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
   1/8 ts Ground cloves
     1 lb Butter; melted, divided
    32 oz (2 pkg) 14" X 9" sheets

MMMMM---------------------------SYRUP--------------------------------
     2 c  Sugar
     2 c  Water
     1 c  Honey
     1 tb Grated lemon or orange zest

 In a small bowl, combine walnuts, sugar, cinnamon and

 with some butter. Unroll 1 package phyllo dough; cut
 stack into a 10 1/2" X 9" rectangle. Repeat with
 remaining phyllo. Discard scraps.

 Line bottom of prepared pan with 2 sheets of phyllo
 dough (sheets will overlap slightly). Brush with butter.
 Repeat layers 14 times. (Keep dough covered with a damp
 towel until ready to use to prevent sheets from drying
 out.)

 Spread with 2 cups walnut mixture. Top with 5 layers of
 phyllo dough, brushing with butter between each sheet.
 Spread with remaining walnut mixture. Top with 1 layer
 of phyllo dough; brush with butter. Repeat 14 times. Cut
 into 2 1/2" squares; cut each square in half diagonally.
 Brush remaining butter over top. Bake @ 350oF/175oC
 until golden brown, 40-45 minutes.

 In a large saucepan, bring syrup ingredients to a boil.
 Reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes. Strain syrup,
 discarding zest; cool to lukewarm. Pour syrup over warm
 baklava.
