Method

Step 1 of 6

Preheat oven to 160°C. Brush a 25x16x3cm deep (base measurement) slice pan with a little butter. Combine sugar, tangelo juice, honey and orange blossom water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to the boil. Cook for 5 mins or until syrup thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.

Step 2 of 6

Place nuts and spices into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 3/4 cup of the syrup.

Step 3 of 6

Brush 6 sheets of filo with butter and layer on top of each other to make a stack. Repeat with remaining filo to make 2 more stacks.

Step 4 of 6

Fold each stack in half so the short edges meet. Lay a stack in base of prepared baking tin. Spoon half the nut mixture over filo base. Cover with another layer of filo.

Step 5 of 6

Spread remaining nut filling over and cover with remaining stack of filo, trimming if necessary.

Step 6 of 6

Using a small sharp knife, mark into pieces. Bake for 1 hr or until golden brown and crisp. Pour over remaining tangelo syrup and stand for 2 hrs before cutting into pieces. Sprinkle with rind for decoration.
