Panna Cotta With Apricot Compote Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle the gelatine onto 3 tbsp water and soak for 5 mins. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod into the pan and put the pod into the milk. Put the soya milk, zest, vanilla pod, sugar and rum into a pan. Heat until the liquid just comes to the boil (if using veggie gelatine, you'll need to bring it to the boil - check pack instructions), then remove from the heat and stir in the gelatine. Cool for 10 mins. If the gelatine clumps together, whisk thoroughly. Strain the milk mixture, then divide between 4 ramekins. Cover and refrigerate until set (approximately 2 hrs).
• Halve and stone the apricots. Put the sugar and 150ml water into a pan, then heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the apricots and cook over a gentle heat for 12-15 mins or until the apricots are soft, then leave to cool. Serve in a dish alongside the panna cotta.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, rinds (save the insides for the compote), and vanilla bean simmering until the sugar is dissolved.
• Meanwhile place the gelatin in enough cold water to submerge the gelatin completely, about 1 1/2 cups. Soak the gelatin until softened. Once soft, remove the gelatin from the water, squeezing out excess water. Add the gelatin to the hot liquid and stir to melt. Let cool slightly then stir in the yogurt. Strain the mixture into a clean bowl. Chill over an ice bath until it starts to thicken. Fold in the whipped cream. Pour into individual 4-ounce molds or ramekins, or a large mold or ring mold, and chill for 2 hours. When ready to serve, dip in hot water 10 seconds to remove from the molds and turn them out onto dessert plates.
• To make the compote, place the blueberries, sugar, orange juice and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring just to a boil. Stir the fruit once, turn off the heat and let it stew on its own for 5 minutes. Serve cold or at room temperature, spooned around the panna cotta.

Steps:

• Panna Cotta.
• In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Let stand for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile in large saucepan, heat and stir cream and sugar over low heat until sugar is all dissolved. Stir in softened gelatin until dissolved. Then, add buttermilk and salt. Divide and spoon into 30 individual glass bowls or 1 large bowl to divide later.
• Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours for individual servings or up to 24 hours for large bowl.
• Dried Fruit Compote.
• In large nonreactive pan, combine water, wines, fruits and spices; bring to boil.
• Remove from heat and let stand 15 minutes; drain, reserving 1/2 liquid, and reduce remaining liquid by one half.
• Stir sugar, zests and liqueur into reduced liquid. Add fruits; stir together and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To Serve.
• Remove panna cotta from individual molds or scoop portions from large bowl onto individual serving plates. Spoon dried fruit compote on top.

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup milk in small bowl; sprinkle unflavored gelatin over. Let stand 10 minutes to soften gelatin.
• Combine cream, remaining 1/2 cup milk and sugar in heavy large saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring mixture to boil. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture; whisk until gelatin dissolves. Cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. Discard vanilla bean.
• Divide cream mixture among 8 shallow soup bowls. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.) Spoon Cranberry-Fig Compote atop panna cotta and serve.

Steps:

• Soak the gelatine for 10 mins in enough cold water to cover the leaves. Bring the milk and 50g sugar slowly to the boil, gently stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract or rosewater. Remove gelatine from soaking water, squeeze out water, then stir into the milk until it has dissolved. Pour the jellies into 4 x 150ml moulds, cups or ramekins. Cool, then chill until set, about 3 hrs.
• Halve and stone the apricots, then cut each half into 4. Put in a pan with the apple juice and 2 tbsp sugar, then bring to a simmer. Gently cook for about 5 mins until the apricots are tender, but not pulpy. Remove from the heat, stir in the raspberries, then leave to cool.
• Turn the jellies out onto 4 plates, then spoon compote around the edge.
