RHUBARB TAPIOCA
To 1 pint of chopped rhubarb add 2 dozen cooked prunes, 1/4 cup of prune juice and 1/2 cup of sugar; boil for 5 or 10 minutes, then add 1/2 cup of any quick-cooking tapioca which has first been soaked for half an hour in 3/4 cup of cold water; cook until the tapioca looks transparent. Serve either hot or cold with sugar and cream.
