Jenn's Baklava

For the past 5 years or so I have made Greek Food for Chris' birthday.  So here's my delicious
Baklava recipe:

1 lb filo dough
2 lbs nuts chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 squares butter

Syrup;
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
7 Tbsp honey
1/2 lemon
whole cloves

Mix chopped nuts, sugar and cinnamon.  Melt butter in a saucepan.  Also butter an 11 1/2 X 13 in pan.  Add 4-5 sheets filo, buttering each sheet with melted butter.  Add some nut mixture than add 1 sheet of filo, butter and repeat process until nut mixture is used.  Add 5-7 sheets of filo on top.  Be sure to butter each one.  cut into diamond shapes.  Add 1 clove to each diamond.  Bake at 425 degrees for 2-5  min reduce oven to 350 degrees bake until golden brown 45 min or so.  Make syrup as soon as baklava is put into bake.  Cool syrup and spoon on baklava as soon as it comes out of oven.  Serves 12  
Syrup:  In a large pan combine all ingredients.  Cook 12 min.  Leave lemon in syrup as you cook.  Make sure to squeeze lemon juice into syrup.

The secret is the lemon!
