Glace' Baklava
Ingredients
1 karen mintzias
4 eggs
1 lb blanched almonds finely chopped
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 lb mixed glace' fruit finely chopped
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 lb phyllo pastry sheets
1 lb sweet butter, melted
SYRUP
3 cup sugar
2 cup water
1/2 lemon (juice only)
1 cinnamon stick
Preparation
Beat eggs until light. Fold in almonds and sugar. Stir in fruit.
Take 2 sheets of phyllo pastry, brush one at a time with melted
butter, and place one on top of the other. On the long end of the
phyllo sheet spread some of the fruit-and-nut mixture in a band about
1 inch wide. Fold in ends and roll like a jelly-roll. Place on a
cooky sheet and brush top with melted butter. Make diagonal slits
along the whole length, about 1 1/2 inches apart, being careful not
to cut all the way through. Continue making the rolls until all nut
mixture is used. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for about 1 1/2 hours
or until golden brown. Cut pieces through entire roll. Dip hot
baklava pieces in cold syrup and drain well.
Syrup: In a saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil and
boil for 20 minutes. Cool.
