Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Panna cotta:
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 crème fraîche or sour cream
Rhubarb-strawberry jelly:
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

Steps:

  • For panna cotta:
  • 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 crème fraîche. Divide mixture among eight 6-ounce jars, ramekins, or glasses. Chill until set, at least 2 hours.
  • For rhubarb-strawberry jelly:
  • 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.
  • DO AHEAD: Panna cotta can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.

RHUBARB/RAZ JELLY



Rhubarb/Raz Jelly image

My mom got this great jelly recipe from her neighbor, and taught me how to make it. It's very tasty and really simple to put together. Takes no time at all to make the jelly as I bring in the rhubarb from the garden and clean and cut it into 1" pieces and freeze 5 cups in a freezer bag.

Provided by Laudee

Categories     Jellies

Time 25m

Yield 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 cups rhubarb
3 cups sugar
1 (3 ounce) package raspberry Jell-O gelatin

Steps:

  • Place rhubarb and sugar in enamel or stainless steel bowl (I use an 8 qt. stainless steel cooking pot), mix well, cover, and let stand overnight.
  • Next morning, bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring constantly, for ten minutes.
  • Remove from heat, stir in jello.
  • Fill hot, sterilized jars to 1/2" from top.
  • Place seal on jar, and tighten ring.
  • Turn jar upside down on towel-covered surface for about 15 min.
  • Turn jar right side up, to cool, and seal to set and pop.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, deep-red stalks with few blemishes.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb well and cut off the leaves and root end.
  • Use a variety of fruits: In addition to rhubarb, you can also use other fruits in your jelly, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
  • Use a good quality pectin: Pectin is a natural thickener that helps to set the jelly. Be sure to use a pectin that is specifically designed for jelly making.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Jelly making can be a delicate process, so it is important to follow the recipe carefully.
  • Be patient: It takes time for jelly to set, so be patient and don't rush the process.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, biscuits, or even ice cream. It is also a great way to use up extra rhubarb. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own rhubarb jelly at home. So next time you have some extra rhubarb, be sure to give this recipe a try!
