TAPIOCA JELLY.—­Soak a cup of tapioca in a pint of water over night.  Add another pint and cook until transparent and smooth.  Add three tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and four tablespoonfuls of sugar; beat well together and tun into molds.  Serve cold.  No dressing is required.  This may be varied by using unsweetened currant, grape, or other acid fruit juice in place of lemon.  Fruit jelly may be used if the juice is not easily obtained.  Add when the tapioca is well cooked, and stir until dissolved.

APPLE SAGO PUDDING.—­Soak one cup of sago in six cups of water; stew ten small apples, mix with the sago, and bake three quarters of an hour.  Serve with cream and sugar.  It is better warm than cold, but acceptable either way.

RED SAGO MOLD.—­Take a quart of red raspberry juice, pure or diluted with one third water, and sweeten to taste.  Have ready one half cup of best sago which has soaked for twenty minutes in just enough water to cover.  Drain off any water that may remain.  Add the sago to the juice, and cook until the sago is transparent, then turn into molds.  Serve cold with cream.  Cranberry or strawberry juice may be used in place of the raspberry, if preferred.

SAGO FRUIT PUDDING.—­Soak a small cup of sago an hour in just enough water to cover.  Drain off any water that may not be absorbed.  Mix two thirds of a cup of sugar with this sago, and stir all into a quart of boiling water.  Let it boil until the sago is perfectly transparent and pour in a pint of nicely hulled strawberries.  Turn into molds to cool, or serve warm with cream, as preferred.  Tapioca can be used instead of sago, but needs longer soaking.  Raspberries, stoned cherries, or currants can be used in place of strawberries.

SAGO PUDDING.—­Soak a cupful of sago for twenty minutes in a cup of cold water; then pour over it a quart and a cup of boiling water, add a cup of sugar and one half cup of raisins.  Cook till the sago is perfectly transparent, flavor with vanilla, and set away to cool.  Serve with whipped cream.

MANIOCA WITH FRUIT.—­Pare, core, and quarter six medium-sized tart apples, and put them to cook in a quart of boiling water.  Add a cup of sugar, and cook without stirring until softened, then sprinkle into the water in which they are cooking five tablespoonfuls of manioca, and cook until it is transparent, which will be in about ten minutes.  Flavor with a little grated lemon rind, and serve hot with sugar and cream, or mold, as preferred.  Canned peaches, apricots, or cherries may be used in a similar manner, adding boiling water if there is not sufficient juice to properly cook the manioca.  Or the manioca may be first cooked in boiling water, using four scant tablespoonfuls for a pint of water, and when transparent, turning it over sliced bananas, pineapples, or oranges, molding and serving with cream and sugar.
