Tapioca Fruit Pudding
1⁄2 cup pearl tapioca
1 qt. water
6 apples, pared and cored
3⁄4 cup sugar
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
Soak the tapioca one hour, bring it to a boil with the other ingredients in a two-quart pail, if that will fill the cooker “nest,” or in a pudding pan to be set over boiling water. Put it into a cooker for one hour. Serve cold with cream. If it is preferred to serve the pudding warm, use only three cups of water.
Serves six or eight persons.
