Blackberry Raspberry Sauce Recipes

PANNA COTTA WITH RASPBERRY BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the raspberries, blackberries, sugar, lemon juice and water to a pot, stir and bring to the boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes, stirring often to stop it from scorching.
• In a very small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand about 1 minute to soften. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat until gelatin is dissolved and remove pan from heat.
• Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer and bubble for 10 minutes. Sieve to remove seeds or serve with seeds. It will thicken further as it cools. You don't want it too thick though it is best served slightly runny with panna cotta.
• In a large saucepan bring cream, half and half, and sugar just to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring. Remove pan from heat and stir in gelatin mixture and vanilla. Divide cream mixture among eight 1/2-cup ramekins and cool to room temperature. Chill ramekins, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight. You can also poor in short drinking glasses, cocktail glasses or small mason jars.
• When panna cotta is set, serve with berry sauce.
• Dip ramekins, one at a time, into a bowl of hot water 3 seconds. Run a thin knife around edge of each ramekin and invert ramekin onto centre of a small plate and serve with berry sauce. Depending on the container it is set in, you may also serve the panna cotta straight out of the glass and just place the berry topping on top.
