How do I cook tapioca large pearls for tapioca pudding? I have always used the minute tapioca. I would like to make the tapioca with the large pearls. Thank for your time and help.

I used to make it, but have forgotten just how I did it. Think I used to soak it in the milk in the frig overnight, then cook it. Hope this will help you.
The Amish-Mennonite Tapioca Pudding on this website uses Baby pearl. I would think if you heated then soaked the larger overnight then made the recipe it would work.

Check the package. There will most likely be instructions and/or recipes there.
I found a recipe for Large Pearl Tapioca at The Amish Country Store site. Hope this helps. http://members. irl/tapioca.html
