Wonderful. What a grand summer treat, it's refreshing, sweet/tart and savory from the rosemary. As I don't have fresh rosemary I used 1 Tbsp of dried and that worked well. The sugar was replaced with Splenda . I have a healthy rhubarb patch and a fair amount of it will be going into making sure that this recipe is on hand for the summer.

<p>I am a stay at home mom with 5 wonderful children. When I have time I love to scrapbook and journal. I also crochet and do cross-stitch and enjoy reading my Bible. Sometimes I am all into trying new things then other times I only want old standbys. I like to get veggies into my picky kids by sneaking them in where they were not expecting them. I've learned that its improtant to try new things 2 or 3 times before you can really consider it rejected. Sometimes the second time you offer it to them they will scarf it down, when the first time they barely got down the mandatory taste bite. Go figure.</p>
