   1      c             Butter
   4                    Eggs -- separated

Mix farina with cinnamon and set aside. Cream butter in a bowl. In
another bowl, beat egg yolks with the sugar until thick. Add to the
butter and beat very well. Beat egg whites until stiff. Then fold

mix gently. Put into a buttered pan. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for
45 minutes.

Prepare syrup by boiling all of the ingredients for about 8 minutes.
Remove and discard cinnamon and cloves. Pour syrup over hot halvah.
Cool, serve.
