      Title: Thomas Joseph's Baklava
 Categories: Nuts, Pastry, Citrus, Herbs
      Yield: 35 Servings
 
      4 c  Pistachios, walnuts, or
           - pecans; fine chopped
  3 1/2 c  Granulated sugar
      2 tb Rose water
      1 tb Ground cinnamon
      1 ts Fresh squeezed lemon juice
      1 lb Phyllo dough; thawed
      2 c  Clarified butter
 
  Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.
  
  In a medium bowl, mix together nuts, 1 cup sugar, 1
  tablespoon rose water, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon; set
  aside.
  
  Place remaining 2 1/2 cups sugar, 1 1/4 cups water, and
  lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  Bring to a boil; immediately reduce to a simmer and cook
  until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add remaining
  tablespoon rose water and return to a boil; cook for 1
  minute. Remove from heat and let syrup cool completely.
  
  Brush a 9" X 13" baking dish with clarified butter.
  Carefully layer half of the phyllo dough in the baking
  dish, brushing between each layer with clarified butter.
  Sprinkle nut mixture over top and continue layering
  remaining phyllo dough over nut mixture, brushing
  between each layer with clarified butter.
  
  Brush top layer generously with butter. Using a sharp
  knife with a very thin blade (such as a boning knife),
  score baklava into 1-1/2"-wide diamond-shaped pieces,
  cutting through all of the phyllo layers.
  
  Transfer to oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to
  300 degrees and continue baking until golden brown,
  about 50 minutes more. Remove from oven and pour syrup
  over baklava; let cool completely before serving.
  
  Makes 30 to 40
