Some info for Florence (beautiful name) in Indiana, I'm so envious, I've been
trying for about 4 months to source the old fashioned Tapioca, found an
alternative, but doesn't quite live up to DH's memories of the pudding his mum
made. This is a basic recipe, but if you have a slo-cooker, once the tapioca is
clear, bung everything into the buttered crockpot and leave for 2 hours on high,
checking regularly.
Old Fashioned Seed Pearl Tapioca
Soak 1/2 cup of tapioca overnight. Mix 1 qt. milk and 3/4 cup sugar. Bring to
boil. Add tapioca, cook and stir until tapioca is clear (at least 30 min.) then
combine 3 beaten eggs, 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 tsp. vanilla. Add to above mixture
and bring to a full boil. (Makes about 2 quarts).
