Instructions

  1. 1

    Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes until spongy.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla seeds and pod, and salt. Heat over medium, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the cream is steaming but not boiling, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat, discard the vanilla pod, and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved with no visible granules.

  4. 4

    Divide the mixture among six 6-ounce ramekins or glasses. Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours until just set with a delicate, trembling jiggle.

  5. 5

    For the sauce, simmer half the berries with the sugar and lemon juice for 5 minutes until syrupy, then stir in the remaining fresh berries off the heat and cool.

  6. 6

    Serve the panna cotta in their glasses topped with berry sauce, or unmold by briefly dipping each ramekin in warm water and inverting onto a plate.
