The fruit-cheese combo it’s a classic flavourful match, whether using fresh fruit or fruit spread and cheese with bread or crackers. In this case, however, we simply grilled some not-too-ripe apricots and paired them with Cheddar cheese that melted like snow in the sun with a drizzle of honey for a great starter or snack or even an end of the meal. The thyme added a little Mediterranean touch. Using apricots with a firm texture also benefits the flavour, in our opinion. This is because their flavour remains perfectly balanced between sweet and slightly sour. Honey or maple syrup will do the rest.
