Yellow Fruit Salad with Ginger-Thyme Syrup

By Grace Parisi

Thyme for dessert
Summer peaches and plums are so good that it's easy to eat them as is, morning, noon and night. For a week or two, anyway. As a change of pace, try tossing them in a light ginger-thyme syrup that also flavors a meringue squiggle garnish. The earthy fragrance will bring out the fruit's hidden tastes.
