Categories     Dessert     Roast     Quick & Easy     Plum     Honey     Thyme     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup fresh thyme sprigs
6 large assorted ripe but firm plums (about 2 pounds), halved, pitted
Crème fraîche
Additional fresh thyme sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Stir first 4 ingredients in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat until butter melts. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly (mixture will bubble vigorously). Add plum halves, cut side down. Cook plums without stirring for 2 minutes. Turn plums over and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until caramel is deep brown, checking frequently to prevent burning, about 4 minutes.
  • Divide plum halves among 6 plates. Spoon sauce from skillet over plums, leaving most of thyme sprigs behind. Drizzle plums with crème fraîche, garnish with additional thyme sprigs, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm plums: Ripe plums will have a deep, rich color and give slightly when pressed. Avoid plums that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use fresh thyme: Fresh thyme has a more intense flavor than dried thyme. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme.
  • Roast the plums at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the plums and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Serve the plums warm or at room temperature: Roasted plums are delicious served warm or at room temperature. They can be served as a side dish, dessert, or snack.

Conclusion:

Honey roasted plums with thyme is a simple but elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The plums are roasted until caramelized and then tossed with honey and thyme. The result is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your guests. Roasted plums are especially nice to serve in the fall when plums are in season, but they can be enjoyed year-round. You can also get creative with the ingredients. Try using different types of honey, such as orange blossom honey or buckwheat honey. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg. No matter how you choose to make them, honey roasted plums with thyme are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is sure to be a hit.
