Directions
To prepare jam, combine ⅓ cup water and 3 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook 3 minutes or until sugar dissolves.
Add 1 cup chopped strawberries, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until mixture is syrupy, mashing strawberries with a fork.
Remove from heat, and stir in remaining 1 cup chopped strawberries.
Pour into a bowl, and cool completely.
Cover and chill.
To prepare crème, sprinkle gelatin over whole milk in a small saucepan; let stand for 10 minutes.
Scrape seeds from vanilla bean, and add seeds and bean to milk mixture.
Cook the milk mixture over medium-low heat 10 minutes or until gelatin dissolves, stirring constantly with a whisk.
Increase heat to medium, and add 6 tablespoons sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat. Stir in buttermilk.
Remove and discard vanilla bean.
Spoon about ½ cup buttermilk mixture into each of 6 small glasses.
Cover and chill 6 hours or until set.
Top each serving with 3 tablespoons berry jam.
Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
