This is fun to serve at bridal showers or other girly-get-togethers!
(Thank you Erin from The Sisters Cafe)
¾ cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup peach juice (or another cup of water, which is what I always do instead)
3 T. tapioca (be sure to use the “minute brand” quick cooking tapioca!)
6 oz. orange juice concentrate
1 ½ cups water
2 cans mandarin oranges (with or without juice)
1 quart sliced peaches (you can use 1 large can of peach slices, but I would not add the heavy syrup – I always try to use Lite peaches that have been bottled with pear juice and water, in which case I add the juice. Also, cut up the slices so they are bite-size.)
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced just before serving
2 bananas, sliced just before serving
1 bag frozen raspberries, thawed but still cool and firm (or an equivalent amount of fresh) or other berry mix (raspberries give the juice a red tint, without raspberries it is an orange color. I almost always use a tri-berry mix which includes raspberries, blueberries and blackberries.)
Bring sugar, water, peach juice and tapioca to a boil. Continue boiling on medium high for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Some tapioca will be clear and other granules will have a white center. Take off heat. Let sit for 30 minutes. (This is when the tapioca will become more clear.) Add 6 oz. orange juice concentrate and 1 ½ cups water. Chill overnight. Add mandarin oranges and peaches. Before serving add strawberries, bananas, and raspberries.
