Baklava
- 1-1/2
c. granulated sugar
- 6 T.
honey
- 1-1/2
c. water
- 1 T.
lemon juice
- 1 lb.
package phyllo pastry
- 1 c.
unsalted butter, melted
- 1 c.
chopped walnuts
- 1/2
tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1-1/2
T. sugar
Combine
sugar, honey, water and lemon juice in a heavy saucepan. Over
low heat, cook until sugar dissolves. Stir occasionally. After
the sugar is completely dissolved, raise the heat and bring
mixture to a boil. When the mixture is thick enough to coat
a spoon (about 2 minutes), remove from heat and allow it to
cool. When completely cooled, refrigerate.
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Using a 12x18" baking sheet, grease
bottom with just enough melted butter to prevent sticking. Place
about 8 sheets of phyllo in the baking sheet, brushing each
layer with some of the melted butter.
Mix nuts,
sugar and cinnamon together and spread 1/2 of the mixture over
top of pastry sheets. Place two more sheets of pastry, brushing
each with butter on top. Cover with remaining nut mixture. Layer
the remaining sheets of pastry, brushing each with melted butter.
Using a
sharp knife, score a diamond pattern in the top. Sprinkle the
pastry with water to keep it moist and to prevent it from curling.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then raise oven temperature
to 425 degrees and continue baking for 10-15 minutes or until
the pastry is cooked to a golden brown. Remove from oven and
immediately pour cooled syrup over top. Let cool completely,
then cut along your scored diamond lines.

filling mix and cinnamon with electric mixer on low speed until

Ice
Cream
Homemade
ice cream is easy to make if you have an ice cream maker or
plenty of time! If not, we suggest you purchase your ice cream
from a specialty store or from your supermarket. For a pretty
dessert with very little work, purchase a pre-made cookie pie
crust and fill it with softened ice cream. Add a layer of melted
chocolate, and garnish the top with chocolate curls, cookie
crumbs or nuts. Refreeze till firm before serving.

lemons

unflavored gelatin

Early in
the day or up to 2 weeks ahead cut off 1/3 of each lemon from
one lenghtwise side. Grate peel from top 1/3 pieces. Wrap 1
t. grated lemon peel in plastic wrap, refrigerate for garnish.
Set aside remaining grated lemon peel. Squeeze juice from bottom
pieces of lemon to make 3/4 cup of juice. Remove all the crushed
pulp and membrane and cut a thin slice off bottom so they can
stand upright. Refrigerate in plastic bags. In 2 qt. saucepan,
combine gelatin, sugar and 2 1/4 cups water. Over medium-low
heat cook, stirring constantly until gelatin dissolves. Remove
from heat and stir in lemon juice and grated peel. Pour into
9"x9" glass baking dish; cover and freeze until mixture is partially
