Buttermilk Panna Cotta With Rhubarb-Strawberry Jelly
- 1 1/4 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
- 6 ounces strawberries, hulled (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 12 ounces rhubarb, trimmed, sliced 1/4" thick (about 3 cups), divided
- 1/2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
- Place 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin over; let stand until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine cream, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan; scrape in seeds from vanilla bean and add pod. Bring just to a simmer. Add softened gelatin and stir until dissolved. Remove cream mixture from heat; let cool.
- Remove vanilla pod from cream mixture; discard. Whisk in buttermilk, then creme fraiche. Divide mixture among eight 6-ounce jars, ramekins, or glasses. Chill until set, at least 2 hours.
- Place strawberries, sugar, and 2 1/2 cups rhubarb in a medium heatproof bowl; stir to combine and cover tightly with plastic wrap, crimping plastic wrap just under rim of bowl. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (plastic wrap should not touch saucepan) and cook, without stirring, until mixture looks pale and soft, 40-45 minutes.
- Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup (do not push mixture through or jelly will be cloudy); discard solids. Add water, if needed, so liquid measures 1 cup.
- Place 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin over; let stand until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring rhubarb-strawberry liquid to a boil in a small saucepan. Add remaining 1/2 cup rhubarb and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes; remove from heat.
- Add softened gelatin to saucepan and stir until dissolved. Let jelly cool completely.
- Top chilled panna cotta with jelly, dividing equally. Cover and chill until jelly is firm, 2-4 hours.
