Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup chopped fresh lemon thyme
1 1/2 firm-ripe honeydew melons, seeded and cut lengthwise into 1 1/2-inch-wide wedges
Garnish: tender lemon thyme sprigs; lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Bring water, sugar, and lemon thyme to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and steep syrup, covered, 30 minutes. Pour through a sieve into a bowl, pressing on and discarding thyme.
  • While syrup steeps, remove rind from honeydew wedges, then halve each wedge crosswise on a slight diagonal.
  • Put melon in a shallow bowl and drizzle with syrup.
