The savory-sweet thing going on is awesome! I do, however, think that I will use less sugar next time, as the jam adds a particularly sweet element. I skipped the glaze for this reason. I got a ton of rosemary in my CSA this week, so I'm trying to come up with ways to use is--besides the typical rosemary-chicken, rosemary-pork, etc etc. This is going to make a mighty fine breakfast tomorrow and is helping me nurse my NCAAM SDSU loss :(

My 10 year old son, who had never been convinced to try a scone, did when he saw these. I think it was because of the jam in the middle-they look like cookies. He said "These are out of this world!" I've made them three times and actually was now rereading the recipe and saw the section on the glaze-I had "glazed over" that section and can't say if that is good or not. I left out the rosemary the third time and really missed that added dimension. Wonderful recipe.

Very easy recipe, but it was too sweet for me . I used 1/3C sugar instead of 1/2C and since my food processor is not big enough, I mix it with my hands & comes out just as well. This will be my go-to recipe for scones ��

Excellent recipe. Easy to make. I prepared these for a tea party and everyone loved them. I used a circle cookie cutter and they looked great. I only used 1 cup of sugar for the glaze and it was sufficient.

I made these for my husband to take to work for a co-workers birthday and they all said it was the best thing they ever tasted. I'm not a big fan of rosemary but I agree, I loved them. I am in the process of making my second batch today.

I was intrigued by rosemary in a sweet scone, so I tried it out of curiosity. Oh my word!!! They are unbelievably good! Brought them to church and got nothing but rave reviews. I didn't make hearts, but it's a cute idea I will use next time. It doesn't matter what shape you make them - they are going to be insanely good! I can always count on Giada!

These were pretty good scones. I feel compelled to give 5 stars simply because of the simplicity of the recipe. Make sure you give an inch or so between scones on the baking tray because they do spread a bit. I didn't give enough room and they spread a bit too much. My fault, not Giada's. The rosemary flavor is very subtle and not overpowering at all.

I didn't bother with the hearts because I hate cutting and re-rolling scraps of dough. I just formed a circle and cut pie wedge shapes. As another suggestion, dimple the scones as you put them on the sheet because they spread when you dimple them and it would have been easier to space them had I done this.

Lastly, there is absolutely no reason to make a glaze with 2 cups of powdered sugar for a dozen scones or so. I made a half recipe and liberally drizzled the glaze and still had half left over.

Amazingly delicious scones! I was a little wary of using so much rosemary in a pastry but it really added a savory element that makes them stand out. Friends and family always ask me to make these scones. I don't have a food processor but I made it in my stand mixer on the lowest setting and it worked great (much faster and easier than using a pastry blender. Will definitely continue using this recipe!

I'm not a big fan of scones but since I'm growing rosemary in my herb garden, I've been on the lookout for recipes where I can use it. These aren't just good, they are fabulous and so easy to make! I stuck with the original recipe and used the strawberry but now I'm looking forward to trying raspberry and maybe even adding some mini chocolate chips. Looking forward to giving these as food gifts, also!
