Dear Melissa Clark,
What is that on top of the Panna Cotta? It looks like stewed apricots or possibly figs? And is that a little Spanish marzipan figure next to it?
Thank you .
I made this to show off a lovely fancy balsamic vinegar, and it was fantastic. The trick is to get a really high-quality vinegar, preferably one of the flavored ones - I used a blackberry-ginger one, and the whole thing came out with a nice blackberry taste. Couldn't find citric acid, so I put 2 tbsps gelatin powder in one cup of the cream, left it for 10 minutes while I heated the rest of the ingredients to a simmer, and then mixed it in thoroughly.
This was really delicious, but mine didn’t set. Any ideas why?
