Honey Roasted Plums With Thyme

Excellent, elegant desert, especially when served with a dollop of crème fraîche.

Preheat the oven the 475f.

In a large , ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat , stir in the brown sugar , honey , unsalted butter , and thyme.

Allow butter to melt and cook for 2 additional minutes , stirring constantly.

The butter mixture will be very bubbly.

Add the plum halves , cut side down , to the butter mixture.

Cook the plums for 2 minutes , undisturbed.

Turn the plums over , cut side up , and transfer the skillet to the oven.

Roast the plums until the caramel sauce is a deep brown color , between 4 and 6 minutes.

Check frequently to prevent burning.

Remove the plum halves to plates and spoon the sauce over the plums , leaving the thyme sprigs in the skillet.

Serve warm with a dollop of crme frache and an additional thyme sprig for garnish.
