Place sheets of phyllo pastry in a 9x13x2 inch pan, brushing each second sheet evenly with butter. When 10 or 12 sheets are in place, combine walnuts, sugar , cinnamon and clove and spread one third of this mixture over the top sheet. Place another 5 or 6 buttered sheets of phyllo on top of nut mixture, sprinkle with another third of the nut mixture, and repeat with buttered phyllo sheets and the final third of the nut mixture. Spread remaining phyllo sheets on top, carefully buttering each second sheet. With a sharp knife, cut baklava into diamond shaped pieces. Heat remaining butter until very hot and beginning to brown and pour evenly over the baklava. Bake in a 350º oven for 30 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300º and continue to bake for 1 hour longer. Cool and pour hot syrup over the baklava. Let cool and cut through precut areas. Put baklava in cupcake liners to serve and store.

Be warned.... once you make homemade baklava and bring it to a party, you will be asked over and over to bring your homemade baklava to every gathering. It is so good.
