Prune Tapioca Pudding
Tapioca, ½ cup.
Cold water, 2½ cups.
Lemon juice, 1 tablespoonful.
Prunes, 1 cup.
Salt, ½ teaspoonful.
Sugar, ½ cup.
Put the prunes into enough water to cover them, and let simmer gently till they absorb all the water. Turn onto a plate to cool and remove stones. When tapioca has cooked until clear, put all the seasoning into it, and put a layer into a pudding dish, then a layer of prunes, and so on, having the top layer tapioca. Bake in moderate oven one hour; then allow to partially cool, and serve with cream.
