How to Make Buttermilk Panna Cotta With Rhubarb Cherry Compote

  1. In the top of a double boiler, combine 1 cup buttermilk and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of powdered gelatin over the top. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream and ½ cup granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and pour the warm cream mixture into the gelatin-buttermilk mixture. Whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  4. Stir in the remaining ½ cup buttermilk. Gently strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a bowl to remove any lumps.
  5. Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly among six 4-ounce ramekins or a single large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
  6. For the compote: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped rhubarb, 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted cherries, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, ¼ cup honey, and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Let sit for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Taste and add more honey if needed.
  7. Transfer the rhubarb-cherry mixture to a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender but still holds its shape.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
  9. To serve, carefully unmold the panna cotta from the ramekins by running a thin knife around the edges and inverting onto serving plates. (If using a large bowl, simply use a spoon or ice cream scoop.)
  10. Spoon the rhubarb-cherry compote generously over the panna cotta and serve immediately.
