On baking sheet, toast coconut in 350°F (180°C) oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes; set aside.In saucepan, heat together cream, orange rind and cloves over medium-high heat until tiny bubbles form around edge. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 30 minutes. Discard orange rind and cloves.
In large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and salt; stir in tapioca. Gradually whisk in cream mixture.
Return to saucepan over medium-low heat; simmer, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat back of spoon and tapioca is puffed and translucent, about 20 minutes.
