PREPARE BAKLAVA: Mixed nuts and spices. Brush bottom and sides of jelly pan with some of the butter. Unfold filo leaves; cover with damp towel to prevent drying. Carefully separate 1 leaf; place in pan, folding edges over to fit pan, if necessary. Brush lightly with butter. Repeat 6 times. Sprinkle 1½ cups of the nut mixture evenly over top. Layer 7 more filo leaves in pan, brushing each leaf with butter. Sprinkle with remaining nut mixture. Layer remaining filo leaves over nuts, brushing each leaf with butter. Heat oven to 350º F.
