VANILLA PANNA COTTA WITH PEAR JAM



Vanilla Panna Cotta with Pear Jam image

This recipe was created by chef Lachlan Mackinnon Patterson of Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colorado. It's part of a special menu he created for Epicurious's Wine.Dine.Donate program. Start this recipe a day before you plan to serve it. Both the pear jam and the panna cotta are best if chilled overnight.

Provided by Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds ripe Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin from 2 (1/4-ounce) envelopes
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • In large bowl, toss together pears and sugar. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • In small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cream. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 1 minute.
  • Meanwhile, in medium saucepan over moderate heat, whisk together milk and sugar. Scrape in seeds from vanilla beans; add beans. Heat, whisking occasionally, until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in cream mixture. Strain through fine-mesh sieve, discarding vanilla beans, then ladle mixture into 8 (4-ounce) ramekins. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • In heavy medium saucepan over moderate heat, combine 1/2 cup water and pear mixture. Bring to simmer, uncovered, and cook until pears are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer mixture to food processor and purée until smooth. Transfer jam to medium bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. (Jam will keep, covered, in refrigerator up to 1 week.)
  • Run thin sharp knife around inside edge of each ramekin to loosen. Dip bottom of 1 ramekin in bowl of very warm water 6 seconds. Put plate over ramekin, then invert panna cotta onto plate, gently lifting off ramekin. Repeat to unmold remaining panna cottas. Top each with 1/4 cup pear jam and serve.

PEAR VANILLA JAM



Pear Vanilla Jam image

There were a lot of good looking recipes kicking around here for various pear jellies and jams, but none were quite what I was looking for. So I tinkered with existing recipes and came up with this one. It's very sugary sweet, which scared off some friends of mine when they tasted it straight out of the jar. (TIP: never leave jars of jam out around your hungry bachelor friends!) When they came to their senses and tried it on something (toast, waffles, biscuits, oatmeal, etc.), they were won over. This goes great with peanut butter too. (I make this with a mix of half Bosch and half Asian pears.)

Categories     Pears

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 half pints, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs fresh pears (about 8 pears)
5 cups sugar
fresh nutmeg
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Peel, core and quarter the pears. (While you're doing this, add the cut pieces to a large bowl of water with some lemon juice squeezed in, to prevent darkening.).
  • Drain the pears, and transfer them to the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse them a few times. You're looking to get them chopped, not to puree them.
  • Grate a couple pinches of fresh nutmeg over the sugar.
  • Add the pears, sugar, and lemon juice to a large pot, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Simmer 40 minutes. You may have to stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • Remove the mixture from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Spoon into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Wipe the jar rims and adjust the lids.
  • Process in boiling water for 10 minutes.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h

Yield 1 pie, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large pears
1 cup mixed berry
70 g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • * Preheat your oven to 190ºC. Generously butter an ovenproof dish or baking tin.
  • * Peel and slice your pears (or apples) and place them in the dish. Mix in the berries and scatter half the caster sugar over the fruit.
  • * Mix together the flour, brown sugar and the other half of the caster sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and vanilla and rub them in with your fingertips, working until the mixture is fine and grainy. If you're feeling healthy you can add an oaty topping!
  • * Scatter the topping over the fruit to cover it completely in a good thick layer. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is nicely golden and some berry juice has oozed up a bit over the crust and darkened it here and there.
  • * Let it cool down a touch and then serve warm with whipped thick or clotted cream, a jug of custard or vanilla ice cream. Serves 6. I had custard. Yum.
  • You can use any ripe sweet fruit you like for this. You can mix some chopped shelled walnuts (about 30g) through the topping or a nutty crunch.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful pears. This will ensure that your jam has the best possible flavor. Avoid pears that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Use a combination of berries. This will give your jam a more complex flavor and color. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
  • Add a little citrus juice. This will help to brighten the flavor of the jam and prevent it from becoming too sweet.
  • Use a good quality vanilla extract. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your jam. Avoid using imitation vanilla extract.
  • Cook the jam until it reaches the desired consistency. This will depend on your personal preference. If you like a thick jam, cook it for a longer period of time. If you like a thinner jam, cook it for a shorter period of time.

Conclusion:

Vanilla pear berry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be spread on toast, muffins, or scones. It can also be used as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or oatmeal. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and turnovers. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, vanilla pear berry jam is sure to be a hit.
