Honey and Thyme Grilled Apricots

Sweet and tangy Honey and Thyme Grilled Apricots have a savory and bright flavor. They are perfect as a side or as a topper to grilled bread and cheese.

I’m so excited – it’s stone fruit season and that means lots and lots of delicious fruit with a million different ways to enjoy them! From cherries to peaches to plums – I love them all. But my favorite has to be delicate little apricots. The truth is that you can find fresh apricots most months of the year at local markets, especially here in Florida.

What is a stone fruit?

Stone fruit is any fruit with a pit or a “stone” inside – like cherries, plums, peaches, and even mangos. I’ve heard people call the stone or pit a seed, but the truth is that the actual seed for these fruits is inside the stone.

I grilled these to bring out the sweetness and to add a bit of smoky flavor. Then I drizzled them with honey and sprinkled with fresh thyme to make them savory.

Here are some of the other ways I like to serve these apricots:

1. As a savory side with pork chops, pork tenderloin or grilled chicken.
2. As an appetizer – Top grilled bread with fresh burrata or mozzarella cheeses and grilled apricots.
3. As a sweet – just add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
4. As breakfast – top with granola and Greek yogurt.
5. As a sweet smokey sauce – throw them in the blender and you have a beautiful sauce for your morning pancakes or waffles.
