This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less rosemary syrup. Other than that, it was a good recipe.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The rosemary syrup is the perfect complement to the sweet figs and pears. I like to serve this dish with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The figs and pears were fine, but the rosemary syrup was too overpowering. It completely masked the flavor of the fruit. I wouldn't make this again.

I love figs and pears, so I was excited to try this recipe. The rosemary syrup was a bit too strong for my taste, but the fruit was delicious. I would make this again, but I would use less rosemary in the syrup.
