Steps:
- Remove nearly all the leaves from the rosemary sticks, leaving a few on the end. Reserve the leaves. Cut the tops off the strawberries, then thread 6 onto each rosemary stick. Place the sticks on a wire rack over a tray.
- Put the water in a heavy-based pan with 1 cup of the sugar and bring to the boil. Give the pan a jiggle, but don't touch it too much. The mixture will clear, then bubble and then slowly get darker and darker. It's ready when it's a golden brown. Pour caramel over strawberies.
- Whisk the mascarpone with enough caster sugar to make it sweet (probably about 2 tablespoons, but you may need a little more or less). Drizzle in a little limoncello, then stir in the rosemary leaves and a little lemon zest.
- To serve, spoon some mascarpone in the center of each plate, lay a kebab on top, and sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful strawberries: The quality of your strawberries will greatly impact the taste of your kebabs. Look for bright red, plump berries with a sweet aroma.
- Prepare your strawberries properly: Before skewering, hull and slice your strawberries. You can also toss them in a mixture of sugar and lemon juice to enhance their flavor.
- Use high-quality skewers: Metal or bamboo skewers are both good choices for grilling strawberry kebabs. Make sure they are long enough to accommodate the strawberries and any other ingredients you are using.
- Grill your kebabs over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the kebabs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the strawberries are slightly caramelized and tender.
- Serve your kebabs with a dipping sauce: A simple lemon-mint sauce is a classic pairing for strawberry kebabs. You can also try other sauces, such as a balsamic reduction or a chocolate sauce.
