Melt the butter in the frying pan. Add the sugar and vanilla pod and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
3.
Add the cherries and strawberries and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are tender and heated through. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, stir, then remove from the heat. Stir in the cinnamon if using.
