1. To make Blackberry Mustard, combine blackberries, Dijon mustard, sugar, honey, rosemary, and cayenne in a small saucepan.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring and mashing blackberries with the back of a spoon, until mixture comes to a boil.
3. In a small bowl, mix together vinegar and cornstarch. Add to blackberry mixture. Stir to combine. Let mixture simmer for about 30 seconds and remove from heat.
4. Spread some butter on 1 side of each piece of bread.
