Seven-Colored Tapioca Pearls and Lychee Compote
I was able to get my hands on fresh lychees, which I love, so I decided to make compote out of them. Canned lychee are also delicious, but they are too sweet, and the preservatives that are used concern me... but I am using artificially colored tapioca pearls. I recalculated the ingredient amounts by referring to a homemade canned peach style recipe that I made 2 years ago. I wasn't quite sure how to use the seven-colored tapioca pearls, which are different from the popular black tapioca pearls. I came up with this summery dessert by pairing the seven-colored tapioca pearls and the lychee compote.
If you add the tapioca pearls while the lychee compote syrup is still hot, the flavor sinks in and it tastes even more delicious. This will be the key point of this recipe.
It's delicious chilled well, but if it's chilled for too long, the tapioca pearls will harden and the texture will not be as good. Calculate when to start chilling them in the refrigerator, so you will be able to serve them at your desired time. Recipe by Munchkin's Mom

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Carefully wash the fresh lychees under running water, as the rinds are quite dusty.
- 2
If you pinch and start peeling from where the stalks were attached, they will come off easily. Since the stalks and the seeds were connected, if any pink colored rinds or the stems are not removed, it will taste bitter and astringent. So, be sure to completely remove them. Save any juice that runs out to be measured with the lychees.

I found these seven-colored tapioca pearls for $1.35 per packet at a Chinese supermarket. As the cooking instructions on the package were written in Chinese, I went ahead and cooked them in the following way: Boil them for 5 minutes in boiling water, turn off the heat, cover, and steam-cook for 7-8 minutes in the residual heat. Drain, rinse them in running water, and drain away the excess water.
- 4
Put water, the peeled lychees, and granulated sugar in a pot, and turn on the heat. Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat, add lime juice and the boiled tapioca pearls while it's still hot. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours and then serve.

Watermelon & Kiwi Slush with Tapioca Pearls Watermelon & Kiwi Slush with Tapioca Pearls
I like black pearl tapioca, so I make this drink with different fruits.I used peach liqueur this time. If you are making this for kids or people who don't like alcohol, you can omit it. The watermelon and kiwi are frozen, so they shouldn't mix. However, anything with a high sugar content will sink to the bottom, so don't add any sweetener to the kiwi. This will ensure clean layers of each ingredient. Recipe by Yukirinrin

Peach Compote Peach Compote
I used some bruised peaches to make compote. You can eat it plain, but I also recommend using it to make tarts or jelly. Here are the peach compote pieces with yogurt in a different dessert recipe.-In Step 2, if your peaches are soft, be careful not to simmer them for too long.-If you're making a lot at once, you can boil the peaches whole. If boiling whole, extend the boiling time a little. If you want to store the compote for a longer time, increase the amount of sugar and store in a sterilized jar. The amount of sugar in this recipe is reduced, so enjoy as soon as possible. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 -

Lychee Panna Cotta Lychee Panna Cotta
I received some canned lychee. Rather than just eating them as-is, I thought adding them to panna cotta would bring out their gentle flavor. I made the panna cotta runnier than usual by adjusting the ingredients. For normal panna cotta, use equal amounts of heavy cream and milk.This panna cotta is slightly runny. Let it chill in the fridge for 3 hours. If you'd prefer it to be firmer, reduce the amount of milk to 150 ml. Recipe by daintiest -
