Peach Tapioca Pudding
Wash 1/2 pint of tapioca. Pour over it a quart of boiling water, use a double boiler or cook in a pail set in a kettle of boiling water. Cook one-half hour. Take a can of peaches. Drain. Put in a pudding dish and season with 1 cupful white sugar and 1 tablespoonful butter. Half a nutmeg, and the grated yellow of a lemon. Pour the tapioca over the fruit. Bake to a delicate brown, and sene hot or cold with cream or foaming sauce. Fresh peaches may be used; pare and quarter. 1 dozen will be enough. Bake three-quarters of an hour. If the fruit is fresh do not brown the top too much.
