Baklava Filling First you need to pulse the walnuts and pecans in a food processor until they are finely chopped. If you don't have a food processor, you can certainly do this by hand. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. When you remove the baklava from the oven, drizzle half the saucepan evenly all over the top. Traditionally, baklava syrup is made with sugar, water, and honey.
