Panna cotta is delicate and not overly sweet, making it a perfect vehicle for showcasing rich and distinctive flavors. For a late summer dessert that pairs well with the bounty of seasonal fruit, we whipped up a batch of this Italian treat and infused it with allspice. This little berry is a gem of a seasoning, layered with warm and complex flavors. Its taste evokes warm, familiar spices like cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, yet remains distinctly its own. Stone fruit like nectarines and cherries make excellent companions for allspice. They're rich and sweet, and make its bold flavors beam!
