Directions
- Fennel infused goat milk panna cotta
- Place powdered gelatin in a small bowl and add water, allow the gelatin to bloom
- Toast the fennel seeds on a cookie sheet
- Place goat milk, cream, sugar, fennel seeds, and lemon zest in a pan. Cook on medium until sugar dissolves and small bubbles form at sides of the pan. Do not let boil.
- Turn off heat. Pour through fine sieve and return to pan.
- Add gelatin. Stir to dissolve.
- Pour into molds and chill until set.
- Blood orange caramel
- Place orange juice, 1/4 cup water, and 2 tbs sugar into small pan. Heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is boiling.
- Remove from heat and cover
- Place remaining water, sugar, and corn syrup in large pot. Turn heat to medium and cover for 4 min.
- Remove cover and turn up heat. Watch as the sugar boils. You are waiting for the bubbles to become large and the color to change.
- Once the sugar turns golden brown swirl the pan to keep the heat evenly distributed. Don't overcook the caramel!
- If you have a candy thermometer you are looking for 345 degrees. Turn off heat and remove to non hot surface.
- Carefully pour in orange juice mixture. It might splatter so be careful!
- Stir to dissolve all the caramel. If needed reheat a little. Caramel will thicken as it cools.
- Drizzle over set panna cotta and rim of serving dish. Also great on ice-cream.
