Hoosier Hill Farm Clear Jel is a modified cornstarch that aids in thickening a variety of recipes. Our classic cook-type formulation has a great tolerance for high temperatures.

-
How to Use: When using Clear Jel to thicken a pie filling or compote, we recommend first mixing it with an equal amount of water. To thicken one batch of fruit pie filling (enough for a 9-inch pie), start by mixing 1 tablespoon of Clear Jel with 1 tablespoon of water. Use a fork or whisk to make sure the mixture is smooth. Once combined, add the mixture directly to your pot of filling. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until bubbles appear. The filling will begin to thicken once removed from heat.

For thickening pie filling, the recommendation is 1 tbsp Clear Jel Cook Type to 4 cups of berries and 1 ½ tbsp for six apples.

About Hoosier Hill Farm Clear Jel Thickener
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.
