1. Sprinkle the gelatine onto 3 tbsp water and soak for 5 mins. Put the soya milk, zest, vanilla pod, sugar and rum into a pan. Heat until the liquid just comes to the boil, then remove from the heat and stir in the gelatine. Cool for 10 mins. Strain the milk mixture, then divide between 4 ramekins. Cover and refrigerate until set (approximately 1½ hrs).
2. Halve and stone the apricots. Put the sugar and 150ml water into a pan, then heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the apricots and cook over a gentle heat for 12-15 mins or until the apricots are soft, then leave to cool. Serve in a dish alongside the panna cotta.

Make it vegan

If you are cooking for a vegetarian or vegan, substitute the gelatine for agar agar (available from health food shops). It works differently to gelatine - you don't need to cool the custard to get it to set; you just soak it, then add it to the custard just after it's made.

  Sarah Jane is Dairy allergic and doesn't like the flavour of Soya but she can tolerate goats milk and cheese so we will sub the soya milk for goats milk.

  Gelatine is not vegetarian - so why has this been placed in this category?

  I used the vege gel from supermarket and it worked a treat, I would say this recipe is easy! Tasted a bit bland so I might put a drop of vanilla essence in the next time I make it but set really well and I served it with fresh strawberries. Nice summer pud for everyone as you would not really know it is made with soya

  not only was this the perfect pudding for anyone allergic to dairy, but it's virtually fat free! genius :P I looove the taste of vanilla, so I put two pods in (also because last time I bought a vanilla pod it wasn't as tasty as I hoped it would be!)
