Walnut and Almond Baklava

==Ingredients==
* 1 lb. strudel or fillo pastry sheets
* ½ lb. sweet butter, melted
* ½ lb. walnuts, coarsely ground
* ¼ lb. blanched almonds coarsely ground
* ¼ lb. sesame seeds (unsalted)
* 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
* 1 tbsp. icing sugar
=== Syrup ===
* 3 cups sugar
* 4 cups water
* juice of ¼ lemon
* 1 piece orange peel
* 1 piece lemon peel
* ½ cup liquid honey 
==Directions==
# Toast the almonds and sesame seeds for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
# Combine with the walnuts, cinnamon and sugar.
# Melt the butter over low heat and lightly grease a large baking pan which is at least ½ inch deep.
# On your work area, take the pastry sheets one by one and, using a pastry brush, spread each with melted butter, one on top of the other making seven layers.
# Again brush the top sheep.
# Sprinkle the nut mixture from the long side of the rectangle to the center, leaving the other half clear.
# Roll the pastry from the nut-sprinkled side, jelly-roll fashion, to make a complete roll with the nuts in the center and sheets of pastry around them.
# Repeat these same steps over and over again until all the sheets and nut mixture have been used.
# Brush each roll with butter.
# Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for about 45 minutes or until lightly browned.
=== Syrup ===
# Bring the sugar, water and peel to a boil and allow to simmer for 45 minutes or until the syrup is honey coloured.
# Remove from the heat and add lemon juice and honey.
# When the baklava is baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
# Cut in 2 inch diagonal pieces and return to oven to heat thoroughly.
# Remove from the oven again and cover with warm (not hot) syrup, using all the syrup.
