"I used raspberry jam as I didn't have strawberry, I think next time I would use less jam and more rhubarb. I tried it in the pressure cooker as I didn't have long enough to steam for 1 1/2 unfortunately it kept loosing pressure and didn't cook..... so I shoved it in the microwave for 7 minutes!! Big hit with the kids! "

"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! "
