Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!! It looks and sounds wonderful and I plan on making it soon! Susan
I really must try this recipe. It sounds delicious. Wondering? Did she take a ready made orange marmalade and just add the rosemary? It sounds fascinating.
That sounds fabulous, especially since I adore the flavor of rosemary!
