Ingredients 5 ingredients

  1. Peaches
  2. a cupful of sugar
  3. a cupful of tapioca through several waters
  4. Cut
  5. a pint of boiling water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Wash a cupful of tapioca through several waters and let soak over night.
  2. In the morning put it in a sauce-pan with a pint of boiling water and set on the stove to simmer until the tapioca is clear.
  3. Pare half a dozen peaches and cut into quarters, stir into the tapioca with half a cupful of sugar.
  4. Take from the fire, turn into a deep dish and stand aside to cool.
  5. Serve very cold with cream.
