- 1/3 cup small tapioca pearls
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons sugar, divided

- 1 qt strawberries, trimmed and coarsely chopped

Equipment:
an electric coffee/spice grinder or a mortar and pestle

Bring water to a boil in a 1-qt heavy saucepan. Whisk in tapioca and simmer, uncovered, whisking occasionally, until tapioca is mostly opaque, about 15 minutes. Whisk in cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/8 tsp salt and simmer, uncovered, whisking occasionally, until tapioca is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a metal bowl and cool completely in an ice bath, stirring frequently, 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, grind fennel seeds in grinder. Pulse strawberries in a food processor with fennel and remaining 2 Tbsp sugar until coarsely puréed. Divide among (6-oz) glasses.
