Recipe

1.   
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cut a
small cross in each peach and pour boiling water over them. Leave for 1 minute,
then drain and peel off the skins. Halve them and remove the stones. Gently
heat the butter and sugar together in a pan until you have a rich caramel. Cut
6 circles out of foil making them big enough to fold up around the peach
halves. Lay them on a baking sheet lined with more foil. Cool the caramel until
it is quite thick. Fold the edges of each piece of foil up to make a cup shape
– the base should be only a little larger then the cut side of each peach.
Divide the caramel between the foil cups.

2.    Roll out the puff pastry to ½ cm thick and cut out 5 circles big
enough to cover the rounded side of each peach. Drape the pastry over each half
peach and mould it onto the dome shape. Put a thyme sprig onto the caramel on
each piece of foil and lift a peach and its pastry face-down onto caramel. Bake
for 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and browned. Turn carefully out
onto a plate (be careful of any hot caramel) and serve with a scoop of crème
fraîche or ice cream.
