For that special Honey in your life. Who has to know it's easy, I won't tell . . . so why should you . . . ;)

1-1/2 lb. blanched almonds, finely grated or ground
1 c. white granulated sugar
Grated peel of 1 orange (commonly called zest)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1-1/2 c. sweet butter, melted (unsalted butter, sometimes whipped)
1 lb. prepared Phyllo Dough, (a paper-thin, pastry dough, available in the frozen food case)
Whole cloves, as needed (NOT ground)
1-1/2 c. honey

1) Toast the grated or ground almonds in a preheated 300 degree oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
2) Mix with 1/2 cup of the sugar, orange peel, and cinnamon.
3) Butter a 10 x 14 inch baking pan and spread butter on the Phyllo sheets. Line the pan with 3 buttered sheets, cut to fit the pan. Sprinkle lightly with some of the nut mixture and repeat, alternating 2 sheets of buttered Phyllo and the nut mixture, ending with Phyllo.
4) Cut into 1 inch by 1 1/2 inch triangles. Insert a whole clove in the center of each triangle.
5) Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 50 minutes, or until golden brown.
6) Meanwhile, bring to a boil the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Add the honey, and let simmer a few minutes; then cool.
7) Cut through pastry diamonds completely, and while hot, pour over cool honey syrup.

Makes about 4 dozen pieces. Let her take some home to show her wickedly jealous girlfriends. Who knows . . . remember those pesky honey bees . . . perhaps a little pollen for the future? . . . smirk!

Almonds are King in the eyes of a Queen, I'll tell you that in the near future . . . have a little patience!
