In a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, and once the butter has melted, add the fruit mixture. Stir and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the fruit has caramelized.

Add apple cider, stir and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fruit is tender. You may need to add a little water if the mixture looks dry (start with 2 tablespoons and add more if needed).
