Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oven to 325°F or 300°F on convection.
Step 2
Halve the apricots and remove the pits. Scatter half the thyme in the bottom of a baking dish. Set the apricots on top, cut side up, and put a tiny pinch of butter in each cavity. Scatter on the rest of the thyme, and drizzle with the honey, to taste.
Step 3
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake until the apricots are just beginning to get tender. Ripe apricots will take 5 to 10 minutes; less ripe ones may take as long as 20. Keep touching them, checking for tenderness and springiness. Serve these warm or at room temperature.
