Tapioca Pudding with Stewed Peaches and Cherries

Image
I loved tapoica pudding as a child.  Turns out, I still love tapioca pudding as an adult. Ingredients: For Bottom Layer frozen peaches, two cups frozen cherries, one cup 1/4 cup water a drizzle of honey 1 tsp vanilla extract For Top Layer 1 can (400ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract   3 Tablespoons tapioca pearls Method: Combine all of bottom layer ingredients in small saucepan.  Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and let simmer til thickened. This took about 10/15 minutes. In a separate saucepan, combine coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, add tapioca pearls and simmer. You will want to stir frequently so this doesn't burn.  It will take about 10/15 minutes for the  tapioca to plump up and become translucent.   Serve warm or put in  fridge and serve cooled. I prefer it warm ...  xx

Instant Pot Apple Sauce

I made apple sauce in my instant pot the other day. I just sort of winged it but it turned out great. I basically just filled the pot with apples and spices and let it do it's thing ... Ingredients: 3 kgs (6.6 lbs) apples (I use 2 or 3 types of apples) 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ginger 1 tsp nutmeg pinch star anise juice of half a lemon 1/4 cup water Method: Core and cut apples into 8 pieces. (I don't worry about peeling the apples.) Add all ingredients to instant pot Secure lid. Set on manual, high pressure for five minutes. Let pressure release on it's own. Once done, open lid and use a stick blender (or regular blender) to make blend the apple sauce to desired consistency. Freezes well. xx
