Cherry Tapioca

Filed under: Desserts, Fruits, Recipes, retro food — Retro Food

Before there was bubble tea…tapioca was relegated to puddings and desserts and the occassional main dish. Here is a vintage tapioca recipe that isn’t your grandmothers weird (or yummy) tapioca pudding. Pretty as a picture…cherry!

Cherry Tapioca

No. 303 can sour red cherries, water pack
½  cup water
3 tablespoons quick tapioca
Dash salt
⅔ cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Few drops red coloring, opt.

Drain juice from cherries into saucepan. Add water, tapioca, salt and sugar. Place over moderate heat, cook and stir until mixture boils vigorously. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, coloring and cherries. Stir occasionally while cooling. Mixture thickens as it cools. Serve chilled. 4 servings.

Note: If sweetened cherries are used in recipe above, only ½  cup sugar will be required. Cooked fresh cherries may also be used. The Modern Family Cookbook

  1. Hi, I reall like your site. I run an emagazine for women, and would like to carry several of your recipes. Each article should be on the front page for about 3 - 5 business days with links directly to your site. A permanent link under contributors on the front page and the appropriate category. Will you please drop me an email? I would really appreciate it.
