Add the celery and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Pour in the broth, then stir in the rosemary, basil and thyme. Add the dried apricots, cherries and prunes and cook over medium heat until the fruit slightly softens, about ⏱️ 5 minutes.
