Vanilla panna cotta with cherry and brandy sauce recipe

Yields 6

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1-1/2 ounces sugar

• 1 tablespoon brandy
• 1/8 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions:

5. While waiting for the panna cotta to set, prepare the sauce.
6. Over low-medium heat, in a small saucepan, combine the cherries, water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Simmer until it becomes slightly thick.
