The only tapioca we can buy here is the big pearl size kind, After talking to Lennie I found out she meant the quick cooking kind. The rhubarb and pineapple however were delicious. One day when I can get back 'home' Im filling my case with the things we cant get here! and will make this again, I love tapioca.

I cut the recipe in half and used Splenda sugar substitute(I used only 1/2 cup for the half recipe) - it worked very well. The instructions are clear and the end result is an excellent flavored sauce that I served over Vanilla Icecream. I used frozen rhubarb I agree with the review that peaches may be good in this recipe but that is neither here nor there and should not affect the star rating - this recipe called for Rhubarb & Pineapple. Thanks Lennie for another way to use up rhubarb
