Ingredients for the syrup

70 g unsalted butter

100 g soft light brown sugar

200 ml runny Sunflower Honey

120 ml water

1 teaspoon sea salt flakes

Zest and juice of 1 orange

Ingredients for the filling 

50 g finely chopped walnuts

100 g finely chopped almonds

50 g finely chopped pecans

150 g finely chopped pistachios

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

100 g unsalted butter, plus extra for the tin

2 x 270 g packs of filo sheets

Preparation:

Mix the butter and brown sugar. Add 80 ml honey, water, orange juice and zest. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Mix the remaining (120 ml) honey with the nuts, cinnamon and cardamom. Roll out the filo pastry and layer it up with the filling and repeat with the extra layers. (I did about 3 layers of filling and pastry). Place a layer of filo pastry on top, cut and bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees. Pour over the syrup and bake for another 5 minutes. Let it cool before serving.
