Honey-Roasted Plums With Thyme

• 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup fresh thyme sprig
• 6 large ripe but firm plums, halved and pitted
• creme fraiche (optional)
• additional fresh thyme sprig (to garnish) (optional)

1. Preheat the oven the 475u0b0F.
2. In a large, ovenproof skillet (nonstick is easiest) over medium-high heat, stir in the brown sugar, honey, unsalted butter, and thyme.
3. Allow butter to melt and cook for 2 additional minutes, stirring constantly. The butter mixture will be very bubbly.
4. Add the plum halves, cut side down, to the butter mixture.
5. Cook the plums for 2 minutes, undisturbed.
6. Turn the plums over, cut side up, and transfer the skillet to the oven.
7. Roast the plums until the caramel sauce is a deep brown color, between 4 and 6 minutes. Check frequently to prevent burning.
8. Remove the plum halves to plates and spoon the sauce over the plums, leaving the thyme sprigs in the skillet.
9. Serve warm with a dollop of creme fraiche (optional) and an additional thyme sprig for garnish.
