We love the flavor of a tangy fro-yo with this sweet sauce, but ice cream is also nice.

Delicious, but took forever to reduce and like other reviewers said, was not thick.

This is absolutely delicious. Warm, boozy fruit over frozen yogurt. A bit of summer, a bit of winter, all scooped out into one delicious, fat free bowl of spring. You can read my full review at Taking On Magazines. http://bit.ly/16SbZSO

Pretty good. I liked it, my husband didn't care for it though. Not as sweet as I thought so I might add a bit more sugar next time.

Takes about 15-20min on low simmer to reduce then it's quite good.

It didn't really thicken. Maybe I did something wrong, but it was still pretty loose when all was said and done. Also, the alcohol flavor was a little too strong for me, but I'm a lightweight! My family loved it. I'll tweak the recipe a bit next time.
