This recipe came from the book Plum Gorgeous, and was featured as a "cook the book" serious eats feature. Its an amazing panna cotta with an even more amazing apricot sauce.
The Panna Cotta is 50% buttermilk, so a bit lighter than some recipes. But it includes saffron and orange peel - and allows them a 30-minute steep in the hot cream. Then you proceed as usual, except you must sieve it before chilling.
You also prepare an apricot syrup for on top - apricots cooked in Moscato wine (very sweet) with cardamom, vanilla bean, and lemon peel. After poaching to soften the apricots, you then cook down the wine/spice mix till it is syrupy.
I made a 5X batch to serve to a work party, with everything done in my electric frying pan. Rave reviews, especially the syrup.
