Instructions: In a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, tapioca, honey, egg, salt, vanilla bean, and seeds. Whisk to combine. Let stand, without stirring, 5 minutes. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil.

Transfer to a medium bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until cool, stirring occasionally, 15 to 30 minutes. The pudding may be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

Make the Glazed Plums: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add plums and sprinkle with sugar. Saute, shaking skillet occasionally, until sugar has melted and begun to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Add Cointreau and orange juice. Remove skillet from heat. Carefully ignite, and gently swirl pan to loosen the cooked sugar and plums. Return to heat and cook until flame has extinguished and liquid is reduced by half about 3 minutes.

To serve: Place a spoonful of plums and some syrup in the bottom of four parfait glasses. Remove vanilla bean from tapioca, and discard. Spoon pudding over plums, dividing evenly. Top with remaining plums and syrup.
