Heat over moderate heat, stirring often until sugar dissolves. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin into 1/4 cup of cool water in a small bowl and allow to swell and soften.
Remove pot from heat and stir in gelatin.
Let mixture cool for 15-20 minutes before adding buttermilk.
Divide mixture evenly between 6 8-oz ramekins.
Refrigerate uncovered until set, around 3-4 hours.

Top each panna cotta serving with a spoonful of stewed berries.
