• Take off the thyme stalks and serve immediately with Greek yoghurt.

BAKED NECTARINES WITH GREEK YOGURT AND HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Core the nectarines and cut into 8ths. Take 4 (12-inch) pieces of foil and divide the nectarines in the middle of each foil sheet. Drizzle the nectarines with the honey and fold foil over creating a packet. Place packets on a baking sheet and in the oven for 10 minutes. Once nectarines are soft remove the nectarines from the packet. Serve on a 4 plates and top with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. Drizzle with honey and serve.

BAKED NECTARINES & RASPBERRIES WITH ALMONDS & HONEY

Steps:

• Mix the wine and honey, and stir to dissolve. Halve and stone the nectarines, and place them, flesh-side up, in a medium ceramic baking dish. Crush the biscuits well, then add the yolk, 2 tbsp of the wine mixture and the flaked almonds. Mix together, then spoon into the nectarines where the stones were. Use all of the mixture.
• Scatter the sugar over the nectarines, then top each mound of biscuit mixture with a little knob of butter. Pour the remaining wine and honey around - but not over - the fruit, add 1 tbsp water, then tuck in the vanilla pod. Can now be chilled for up to 4 hrs.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Bake the nectarines for 30 mins until the fruit is soft and the biscuit filling is crisp and golden. Carefully stir the raspberries through the pan juices, then leave to cool for 15 mins before serving with cream.

BAKED NECTARINES (OR PEACHES)

Steps:

• Cut up nectarines into bite sized pieces. (Figure about 1-1/2 nectarines per person.).
• Place in bottom of baking dish.
• Sprinkle with brown sugar (I usually use no more than a tablespoon per nectarine) and cinnamon (as much as you want).
• Then crush graham crackers over the top, about one whole graham cracker per nectarine.
• Then, randomly place small pads of butter over the top -- you don't need much, but it keeps the top moist.
• Then, bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until desired softness.
• Let it cool for a little bit, then scoop over ice cream.
• You can use peaches instead of nectarines if you can't find them, but I have found that nectarines turn out sweeter and juicier.

BAKED NECTARINES WITH ALMONDS & MARSALA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Sit the nectarine halves snugly in a baking dish, cut-side up. Put the amaretti biscuits into a large bowl and use the end of a rolling pin to bash into crumbs. Add the softened butter, ground almonds, caster sugar and egg, and stir together.
• Push spoonfuls of the mixture into the cavities of the nectarines, piling more on top until the mixture is evenly divided among them. Scatter with almonds, then carefully pour the Marsala into the dish through a gap between the fruit so the topping doesn't get soggy. Bake for 40-50 mins until golden and crisp, and the fruit is soft. Eat warm with the juices spooned over, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or crème fraîche alongside.
