Spray mini pie tins and add graham cracker mixture until crust is evenly formed. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
In 3 separate small saucepans, pour one bottle of each Jones Soda and bring to a boil. Reduce until about 1/4 cup.
Meanwhile, dice green apple and 6 oz of strawberries into small 1/4 inch pieces. Zest lime, lemon, and orange (divide into halves.)
In batches, melt 1 tbsp of butter on high heat, add fruit, and a dash of salt (and 1/8 tsp of rosemary and thyme to the Strawberries). Stir and cook for about 3 minutes.
Add Jones Strawberry Lime Soda reduction to the cooked strawberries and half of the zest of 1 lime, and cook on high heat until almost all of the liquid is gone.
Add Jones Green Apple Soda reduction to the cooked apples and half the zest of 1 lemon, and cook on high heat until almost all of the liquid is gone. Reserve a tbsp of compote.
