Best Tapioca Pudding With Dried Fruit Compote Recipes

EASY FRUIT JUICE TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix tapioca, salt and fruit juice in a small saucepan.
• Let it stand for 5 minutes.
• Cook on medium heat stirring constantly until mixture comes to a full boil.
• Remove from heat (The pudding thickens as it cools).
• Cool 20 minutes, and stir.
• Top with corn flakes and fresh fruit for a yummy, healthy snack.
• You can have this warm or chilled-- I like it chilled!

TAPIOCA WITH STEWED APPLES AND APRICOTS

Steps:

• Having soaked the tapioca overnight, drain and place it in a saucepan with the milk, vanilla extract, and butter. Bring to a boil, turn to low, and simmer, stirring in the honey, agave, or sugar, for another 10 minutes.
• Cut your overnight magically plumped apricots into halves or quarters, if desired. In another saucepan, place the water, cinnamon, orange juice, agave or honey, and apples and bring to a boil, giving it a good stir now and then. Simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
• Now, here you can do one of two things. Serve the stewed fruit as is on top of the tapioca or put the tapioca in a small ovenproof dish with another tablespoon of butter, pour the apples and apricots on top, and bake at 350°F/180°C for 15 or so minutes. The choice, Cilla, is yours.

TAPIOCA FRUIT PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak tapioca overnight in enough water to cover.
• Add or remove water so that there is just enough to cover the tapioca. Cook on low-medium heat on stove until almost all pieces are clear.
• Add sugar; stir until dissolved.
• Remove from heat. Add lemon juice.
• Cool mixture in refrigerator. (This is a good place to store it in the refrigerator, if you are trying get work done ahead. It is fine for at least 2 days; I have never tried longer).
• Stir "gel" so that the individual pieces of tapioca are more separated. Add pineapple and grapes.
• Whip the cream and fold in whipped cream and bananas just before serving.

FRUIT-ON-THE-BOTTOM TAPIOCA PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan. Whisk in tapioca and simmer, uncovered, whisking occasionally, until tapioca is mostly opaque, about 15 minutes. Whisk in cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt and simmer, uncovered, whisking occasionally, until tapioca is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a metal bowl and cool completely in an ice bath, stirring frequently, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grind fennel seeds in grinder. Pulse strawberries in a food processor with fennel and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until coarsely puréed. Divide among (6-ounce) glasses.
• Spoon tapioca over strawberries. Chill until cold, about 15 minutes.

OLD-FASHIONED FRUIT COMPOTE

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, peaches and oranges, reserving the juices; set drained fruit aside. In a Dutch oven, combine fruit juice, dried fruits, lemon zest strips and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until dried fruit is tender, about 30 minutes. Add reserved canned fruit and cherries; heat just until warmed through. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TAPIOCA PUDDING WITH DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE

Steps:

• Cut up large pieces of fruit and combine in pot with cider, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes. Drain.
• Beat egg white until foamy. Gradually beat in 3 tablespoons of sugar, beating until soft peaks form.
• Mix tapioca with remaining sugar, milk and yolk in saucepan, and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Cook and stir tapioca mixture over medium heat until it comes to full boil. Gradually add the egg white mixture, stirring just enough to blend. Stir in vanilla.
• Stir in stewed fruit; cool 20 minutes and serve warm, or refrigerate and serve chilled.
