Clear Jel Powder

I decided to try this brand because of the lower price. I grow apples and one of the things I make is canned apple pie filling. This product worked perfectly. It is essential, if you are going to home can fillings that need thickening, to use a cook type modified food starch. Flour and cornstarch do not work for canning. The filling turned out beautiful. Thick slices of apples with a silky smooth, beautiful sauce. I have been doing this process for several years and this product works just as well as any other brand I have tried. My neighbors love to use the pie filling on waffles. It makes a great gift.

I love this stuff! Most corn starches requires you to add your starch to cold liquids and then heat. Not with clear jel. You can add clear jel to hot water and it will mix in. When I make pies, I can just sprinkle the clear jel over fruit and bake and it thickens nicely. I'm almost out of it and will be reordering again. This stuff beats regular corn starch to pieces.

Seems to work well although it does take some time to heat through. Now that I figured out to dissolve in cold water not hot. To me the texture is good because it doesn't feel clumpy. You just have to watch it because it will burn and yes I made that mistake.

I can’t find this at any stores around me. It’s perfect for pie filling that I make in crockpot. It’s easy, just follow the instructions and it’s a really great price. Highly recommend.

When I opened the packaging that held the bag of Clear Jel, it was dusted with powder. Upon checking the outside of the packaging, I could find no damage, only the hole (not a cut) in the Clear Jel bag, which was apparently packaged with a hole in it. Refund was quick, the original bag was disposed of few days later I decided to give it another shot. The next order was perfectly fine & worked great in my pot pie filling.

Great for canning. It came with a nice long shelf life.

Large bag and good value. I used this for canning apple pie filling to ensure it’s safe/shelf stable. Thickened up nicely and clear as it should be.

Wonderful product for making my home canned pie fillings!

This product gives sauces a thicker finish without clouding. Ideal for canning and preservation for longer periods.
