Baked stone fruits
4 peaches
1 tbsp honey
1 bunch of lemon thyme
1 tbsp brown sugar
Preheat oven to 200c
Slice the peach in half and remove the stones.
Place cut side up in a baking dish, and sprinkle each peach half with the brown sugar, honey, and lemon thyme leaves. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until the peaches have softened and caramelised nicely – they should still hold their shape.
