4 cups blackberries 

1 sprig of rosemary 

Black pepper 

½ cup lightly packed brown sugar 

½- ¾ cup Haitian rum 

1 store-bought pound cake

Method 

  1. In a large sauté pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. 2. Add in the blackberries, rosemary, a touch of black pepper, and brown sugar,  and let the berries reduce slightly.
