Soak ½ cup pearl tapioca in water overnight. Use at least 3 cups water. This reduces cooking time later. After soaking, pour off all water.
Bring 3 cups water to boil, add soaked, strained tapioca. Simmer over low heat about 10 minutes, stirring often. Boil until tapioca balls are basically transparent.Add sugar, salt and Jell-O to hot, cooked tapioca. Cool completely before adding fruit. Lightly stir in whipped cream. Serves 12.
You can change this flavor to a variety of other flavors such as raspberry, peach, etc. Use matching fruits and Jell-O flavors.
