Method

Preheat the grill to just under its highest setting. Slice the tomatoes in half and lay them on some baking paper on a baking tray. Splash over a little red wine vinegar. Scatter over the sugar, some salt, a really good grinding of black pepper and the thyme. Cut the butter into slices and divide between all the tomatoes. Place under the grill, relatively far from the element. Cook them for 15-
