1. Begin by cutting out as many parchment sheets as intended servings.
2. With a mandolin, cut slices of the various fruits into 1/8 inch slices, avoiding the pit or seeds.
3. Spread a thin layer of butter on the base of the parchment paper and shingle the fruits, alternating between the different varieties, seasoning with salt and sugar throughout.
4. Dress with the vinegar, add the lemon verbena and rosemary, and seal with the parchment paper by folding in and pinching the ends together.
5. Bake in an oven at 375°F for roughly 10 minutes. Fruit should be cooked through, but not completely falling apart.
6. Cut open parchment paper and allow to cool briefly before transferring to a plate.
7. Reserve the cooking liquid and butter in the packet.
