Stir constantly until you get a thick, glossy syrup.
Allow to cool completely before use.
Set aside to serve over panna cotta.

Panna cotta:

In a saucepan, mix cream, milk, sugar and vanilla.
In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in 4 tablespoons of milk.
Add the dissolved gelatin to the mixture in the pan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat as soon as small bubbles start to form around the edges (do not let it boil).
Pour into a pudding tin or into individual bowls (no greasing needed).
Cover it with plastic wrap and let it cool at room temperature.
Place it in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, until it becomes firm and has a creamy consistency.
Carefully unmold and finish the blackberry syrup on top.
