Thanks everyone for the info. Michael and Chopstix you both had the rite idea and I tried it last night befor bed. This morning the pearls are translucent and ready for the soup. Yum
I am going to make a Norwegian fruit soup my mother use to make. I have found a recipe on the net that calls for minute tapioca. My Mom used to use the pearls which I have but on her recipe sheet she does not say anything about how to prepair the pearls. Any idea how long they need to be cooked...
