1 1/2 pound of blanched almonds, finely grated or ground 1 cup of sugar Grated peel of 1 orange 1 teaspoon of cinnamon 1 1/2 cup of sweet butter, melted 1 pound of prepared filo dough (available at grocery stores that sell prepared puff pastry or Greek foods) 1 1/2 cup of honey
Toast the grated or ground almonds in a preheated 300ºF. oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Mix with 1/2 cup of the sugar, orange peel, and cinnamon. Butter a 10 x 14 inch baking pan and spread butter on the filo sheets. Line the pan with 3 buttered sheets, cut to fit the pan. Sprinkle lightly with some of the nut mixture and repeat, alternating 2 sheets of buttered filo and the nut mixture, ending with filo. Cut into 1 inch by 1 1/2 inch triangles. Insert a whole clove in the center of each triangle. Bake in a preheated 325ºF. oven for 50 minutes, or until golden brown. Meanwhile, bring to a boil the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Add the honey, and let simmer a few minutes; then cool. Cut through pastry diamonds completely, and while hot, pour over cool honey syrup. Makes about 4 dozen pieces.
