STRAWBERRY TAPIOCA PUDDING
(makes plenty of servings)

1 cup small tapioca pearls
2 cups water
1/2 basket fresh strawberries
1/4 cup Sucanat (tm)
1 TB vanilla

- chop strawberries
- cook water with strawberries to a rolling boil
- add remaining ingredients, reduce heat to low.
- stir constantly or frequently until most of the tapioca pearls
have turned completely translucent.
- turn off heat and let cool for a while

Tastes great warm or cold and is real filling too!

NOTES:
Sucanat (powdered cane juice) should be available at a local HFS
if you don't have it try cane sugar (found in the mexican section,
usually), cane syrup, or some other flavored sweetner. Cinnamon sugar
might work too.
If you want to avoid sugar altogether try doubling the strawberries
and vanilla, leaving out sugar altogether. You will probably need to
reduce the water as well.
I assume you could make this with tapioca flour or different size
pearls. This is the only method I've tried - gotta use up what I have
first!
