    Recipe



    *It takes about 6 ounces of nuts to make 1 1/2 cups ground.
    Combine the nuts, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. Brush 1/2 of 1 sheet of phyllo dough with a little of the melted butter or margarine. Fold sheet in half crosswise. (You will have a double piece of phyllo, 14 x 9-inches.) Brush lightly with butter. (Keep the remaining dough covered while working.) Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons nut mixture over folded phyllo. Beginning at short end, roll up jelly roll style. Cut in half crosswise making 2 rolls about 4 1/2-inches long. Place the nut rolls, seam down, in two 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pans. Repeat with remaining dough to make 40 rolls total. Brush rolls with remaining melted butter. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, prepare syrup. Spoon about 3/4 teaspoon of the syrup over each hot roll while still in pan. Let cool in pan. Makes 40 nut rolls; 20 servings.

    Syrup:
    In a small saucepan, stir together sugar, water, honey and lemon juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture just starts to boil. Remove from heat.
