"This Near Eastern pastry is made of many layers of paper-thin dough with a filling usually of honey and ground nuts. If you like honey, you'll probably like Baklava."

• 2 cups chopped pecans
• 1 1/2 tablespoons whole cloves
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 cup honey

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of pecans over the phyllo dough. Layer 3 more sheets of dough, brush generously with the melted butter, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of pecans.
