Glace' baklava

Servings: 48

Ingredients:

• 4 Eggs
• 1 lb Blanched almonds - finely chopped
• 1 1/2 c Sugar
• 1 lb Mixed glace' fruit - finely chopped
• 1 1/2 c Sugar
• 1 lb Phyllo pastry sheets
• 1 lb Sweet butter; melted -----------------------------------SYRUP-----------------------------------
• 3 c Sugar
• 2 c Water
• 1/2 Lemon (juice only)
• 1 Cinnamon stick

Instructions:

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.
