Hoosier Hill Farm Clear Jel Thickener (Cook-Type), 1.5LB (Pack of 1)

Clearjel (Cook Type) is a modified cornstarch used by many commercial bakers in fruit pie fillings. This cornstarch works well with acidic ingredients and tolerates high temperatures. The first starch to be recommended by USDA for canning fruit pie fillings at home. Due to acid and freeze-thaw stability, maintains consistency after canning or freezing. Also use to make smooth gravies, sauces and soups with the same advantages. 1.5 lbs. (approx. 2.5 cups) is enough to make fillings for up to 18 pies. Storage life of at least 1 year when stored in a cool dry place. Use Clearjel if you're canning homemade pie fillings, since it doesn't begin thickening until the liquid begins to cool. Clear Jel is a superior version of cornstarch because it tolerates higher temperatures and works well with all types of ingredients including acidic ones. Use as a thickener in pies, stews, sauces, gravies and pudding. Use 1/4 cup of Clear Jel for every 1 quart of liquid.
