  This is delicious and easy to prepare. It is very lemony but the flavours are wonderful, I shall certainly make it many times. It really wakes up the taste buds for breakfast too!

  Fantastic!!! I doubled all the sugar and the fruit, kept the rosemary the same and just used 1 lemon, removed fruit and reduced the syrup until quite thick, added some of the syrup to the fruit and chilled, covered with mascapone cheese and chilled until we were ready to eat it then put a nice thick layer of demerara sugar over the top and lit the blow torch!! It had a fantastic brulee top and was served with more of the syrup and double cream. It went down very well and we will certainly be doing it again!! Now with the remainder or the syrup I am tempted to boil until I get a jam!

  Amazing flavour. I used one lemon but all the rosemary, it almost tastes like ginger, not like rosemary at all. I would definitely make this again.

  Ohhhh this was so, so, so good! I used just one lemon, and more plums (they were quite small), and topped the individual servings with crumble and put them in the oven for about 15 minutes, until the crumble was crunchy. Yum!

  The lemon is so nicely balanced with the rosemary to give a deep, fullbodied, sweet flavour that has a nice citrusy zing to it too. Its a very luxurious addition to a bowl of ice cream.
