Delicious! I don't think I used the quick cooking tapioca, so some of it was a little chewy, but the whole family devoured it immediately anyway. Next time I'll try it chilled before serving... if I can keep it hidden from my husband and kids that long!

Delish old-fashioned, slow-foods recipe. I made a half-recipe (using Splenda as I am diabetic) and poured pudding into three dessert dishes. Then garnished each dish with a strawberry sliced into a fan shape (very easy). Personally, I wouldn't recommend omitting the little bit of salt called for, as it helps bring out the subtle flavor of this pudding. Also, doubling the vanilla works well. This recipe will become a staple around this Grandma's house.

This is a great recipe. It reminds me of my grandmothers. I left out the salt. Didn't miss the taste at all. Doubled the vanilla. I microwaved it to save time stirring it on the stove. A total of 8 minutes and stirred it every 2 minutes. I love it warm. Thanks for sharing.

My 3 year old, who is normally anti-carb, began eating this like there was no tomorrow. And then she stopped. It tastes fairly rich and sweet. I ignored the recipe on the Minit Tapioca box and used this recipe instead, taking the advice of one of the two reviewers and using 1 t vanilla and no salt. Next time I might try adding some salt to offset the sweetness. The consistency was good when it finished cooking, but as it sat, it became quite thick. Good comfort food.

Great basic recipe. Use 1/2 beans from a vanilla bean for better flavor, and the black specks are a good contrast against the white pudding.

Excellant! Reminds me of my grandmother's pudding. The first time I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. The second time I omitted the salt (didn't see a need for salt) and increased the vanilla to 1 teaspoon. Absolutely perfect! My granddaughters rave to everyone about their new favorite treat.
