Raspberry Dessert with Vanilla Sauce

4 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed, crushed
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large saucepan, combine the raspberries, orange juice and tapioca; let stand for 15 minutes. Stir in sugar and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Cover and refrigerate.

For vanilla sauce, combine cornstarch and sugar in a small saucepan; gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat.

Whisk 1/2 cup of hot mixture into the egg; return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes or just until the sauce thickens slightly and reaches 160° (do not boil).

Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour into a large bowl; press a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap over top of sauce. Refrigerate until serving. Divide raspberry mixture among four dessert dishes; top with vanilla sauce.
