I'm not giving stars because I strayed so far from the original recipe. I didn't have any minute tapioca - which I assume is the proper type for this recipe - so I used large pearl tapioca. I soaked the tapioca overnight in the pomegranate juice - my first mistake. I should have soaked it in water. When I heated the juice to boiling the tapioca pearls totally disintegrated. So I added more pearls, but I didn't measure and ended up putting in too much. I simmered it for hours and finally gave up on getting the tapioca fully cooked and left the pot on the stove overnight. By morning the "pudding" was almost hard as a rock! I added about a cup of water and simmered it again for several hours, and finally ended up with actual pudding and tapioca pearls that were actually cooked! I had added quite a bit of sugar and no grenadine. The final product, while pretty far from the original recipe, was really quite tasty! So, the moral of the story is, good recipe BUT USE MINUTE TAPIOCA! Oh, and it makes about 4 servings according to the recipe at astray.com.

My passions include cooking, computers, and gardening.
So, I like to, if at all possible, grow whatever I'm going to be cooking with. Which is one of the reasons I got involved in peppers, specifically hot peppers (Habaneros, Jalapenos, that sort of peppers).
