Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Layer filo sheets on a baking tray, brushing each with butter and scattering almonds, coconut, and honey between layers.

Brush the top layer with butter and honey, then bake for 5 to 7 minutes until golden-brown.

Simmer orange juice and honey in a pan until reduced, then coat orange segments in the syrup.

Cut baklava into triangles and serve topped with syrup and a drizzle of cherry juice.
