Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup finely chopped almonds
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 lb phyllo pastry
  • 1 lb butter melted
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup honey preferably Greek
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the nuts, sugar, cloves and cinnamon.
  • Brush 2 sheets of phyllo pastry with melted butter and arrange 1 sheet atop the other. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the nut mixture. Repeat this procedure until there are 3 layers of pastry and nuts. Roll like a jelly roll. Continue to prepare the rolls until there are three.
  • Cut each roll into 1-inch slices. Place the slices on buttered baking sheets with sides.
  • Bake the nut rolls for 20 minutes, turn them over, and continue to bake for 15 minutes longer, until golden brown on both sides. Cool.
  • While the pastry is baking, make the syrup. Bring the water to a boil and stir in the honey. Blend well and add the lemon juice. Cool the syrup slightly. It should still be warm.
  • When the rolls are cool, dip each piece into the warm syrup. Serve at room temperature.
