NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION/SERV

1. Make tapioca: In medium saucepan, combine sugar, tapioca, milk, and egg yolks; let stand 5 minutes. Heat to full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add vanilla. Mix. Cool slightly; pour into 1½-quart shallow baking dish. Refrigerate 1 hour or until cold.

2. At serving time, place berries in bowl. With knife, section orange, allowing fruit and juice to fall into bowl. Toss; spoon over tapioca.

3. Make caramel: In small saucepan, combine ingredients; cover.

Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Uncover; swirl pan until syrup is golden. (If syrum begins to form crystals, cover; cook until golden, checking color occasionally.) Drizzle caramel over fruit and tapioca.
