Vanilla Panna Cotta with Fresh Strawberry Sauce


                             Vanilla Panna cotta........ fancy name.....but super simple dessert.

Whenever I used to watch a chef using vanilla bean, I never thought it would make any difference......until I used it myself........last week I bought 2 vanilla beans (just two).......I am glad I used it .....and I am glad I used it wisely......End result......Vanilla Bean just ROCKS.


Ingredients
print this recipe
  • 500ml  Fresh Cream
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 1 Vanilla bean (or vanilla extract)
  • 2 1/2 tsp Gelatin
  • 50 ml Cold water
Fresh Strawberry Sauce
  • 200g Fresh Strawberries
  • 2 tbsp Sugar




    Method
    1. Pour cream into a saucepan, split vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape all the seeds with a knife and into the cream,toss in the whole bean in too. Bring the cream to a simmer, take off the heat and discard the vanilla bean. Cover the pan for 30 minutes.
    2. Add sugar to the cream and re-heat until the sugar is dissolved.
    3. Lightly grease 6 to 7 cups(I used small steel tumblers) with oil.
    4. In a bowl sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it stand for 10 minutes.
    5. Pour the warm vanilla cream over the gelatin and stir until it is completely dissolved.
    6. Divide the mixture into the greased cups and chill for 4 to 5 hrs or overnight.
    7. Make Strawberry sauce- Blend half of the strawberries with sugar in a blender till smooth.Chop the remaining strawberries and mix both.Transfer to a bowl.
    8. Removing the set panna cotta from the cups is pretty tricky. Run a knife around the edges and unmold into a serving bowl and serve with strawberry sauce.

    Raspberry Freezer Jam

     Raspberry Freezer Jam This isn't a recipe...it's just to help myself remember what I did.  So the next time I make jam I can decide if I want to switch it up.  I'll explain.... In January, I stumbled on a blog called wordofwisdomliving.com and it opened my eyes to the extreme amount of processed foods we eat. High fructose corn syrup, sugar, hydrogenated oil, etc.  So when I went to make a batch of freezer jam and again looked at the amount of sugar and corn syrup, I wanted to try and make a change.  So I made a batch of sugar free that was sweetened with stevia (a natural non-caloric sweetener - still not the healthiest thing, but I feel like a step in the right direction).  The batch was awful (stevia has a bitter after taste sometimes) and I was so mad that I wasted that much fruit.  So I made a normal batch and decided to conduct an experiment on my kids.  I combined the two batches and waited to see if my kids would notice.  They never ...

    Roasted Beets

    This recipe is Elimination-Diet friendly.  The downside of beets is that they take a long time to cook.  The upside of beets is that they're delicious either hot or cold, so they're great in a packed lunch, and throw needed vitamin C and fiber into your diet.  Roasted beets are worth it, since they're much more flavorful and toothsome than canned varieties, and less expensive. If the beets come with greens, you can cook them up like swiss chard.  I would make the greens the first night, roast the beets during dinner, and eat the beets the next day.   Ingredients: 4-6 beets 1/4 cup olive oil 14 cup balsamic vinegar (optional) Recipe: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit Peeling beets is just like peeling potatoes, but messier.  Beet juice will stain a lot of surfaces, including countertops, hands, and fabrics.  It's easiest to just station yourself at the sink with a little water running (or a bowl of water if you're in a drought stat...
