Tasha's Fig, Honey and Rosemary Crème Caramels
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Tasha: "I'm using rosemary that I brought from home, from my mum's garden."
Paul Hollywood: "Rosemary's an interesting one because if you go slightly over, it becomes medicinal."
Voice Over: "Tasha's rosemary-infused custard will be sandwiched between a honey caramel and fig compote."
Tasha: "I'm doing a cheats way for caramel because I'm just literally using honey. I'm just heating the honey until it's reduced."
Paul Hollywood: "They look really interesting. I was worried about you making caramel with honey. Could it have been a little bit thicker?"
Prue Leith: "There's a swimming pool of sweetness. It needs to be on the top, really. Still, that custard has a beautiful set."
Paul Hollywood: "Smooth as anything. The fig comes through. The rosemary's barely there, but the flavor is lacking a little bit of direction."
Prue Leith: "I think using honey is such a lovely idea, but everything is too sweet."

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
