Method

• Step 1

  Combine the butter and maple syrup in a large robust pan and place on the barbecue to melt – keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

• Step 2

  Add the thyme with a pinch of sea salt, give the pan a good swirl (don’t forget an oven glove), then add the fruit, cut-side down. Cook for 10 mins, checking halfway and giving the pan a little shake, until the flesh is deeply caramelised.

• Step 3

  Serve with a spoonful of the maple butter, with ice cream and lime wedges for squeezing, if you like. Store leftover fruit chilled in an airtight container for 3 days.
