2. Reduce the heat and simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruit has softened.

3. Remove from the heat and let cool for 15 minutes. Butter an 8-inch (20-cm) baking pan.

4. Melt the butter with the brown sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat until the sugar has dissolved completely.
