## Description

Instant Clear Jel is an amazing food starch that thickens foods instantly without cooking. Use it in cold drinks and pie fillings. It is recommended that INSTANT CLEARJEL be thoroughly blended with sugar or other dry ingredients before it is added to liquids in order to prevent lumping and to insure smoothness. The presence of sugar acts to control the rate of the hydration of the starch. INSTANT CLEARJEL will begin to swell or thicken as soon as it is added to water, milk or juices; it will impart a smooth, short texture when fully hydrated. The viscosity will increase slightly upon heating. It has excellent heat and acid resistance and can be used in acid containing foods and in those applications where heating is required. INSTANT CLEARJEL also has good cold temperature storage stability making it particularly well suited for refrigerated and frozen foods. Store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigeration or freezing. Hoosier Hill Farm is located in America's heartland of northeast Indiana. Our products and ingredients are guaranteed fresh and we are proud of our heritage and good, old-fashioned values!

Review: This Clear Jel is great stuff! There don't seem to be a lot of recipes on how to use it well in various ways so I've been experimenting with both this Instant Clear Jel and the one that requires cooking. Of the 2 - I like this one the best as you can determine the thickness of the final product instantly. I don't can foods, but I do make Berry Pies and this is absolutely perfect for making pies. You have to adjust the amount you use to the "type" of fruit, Fresh or Frozen fruit, the amount of fruit and the ripeness of the fruit as some fruits produce more juice than others -- but it's now my go-to thickener for berry pies. I particularly like its texture - and you can instantly make it as thick or thin as you want. BEST - you don't have to cook it. Wonderful blackberry pie!!! I first precook my own homemade pie shell - let it cool. Once the shell is cool, I sweeten fresh or frozen blackberries (I prefer frozen) with Sugar till thawed and juicy - about an hour. Then I add (1 T at a time) the Clear Jel to the Berry/Juice/Sugar Mixture and gently stir it. It thickens up immediately - no cooking. For a firm set pie (doesn't run) I use the full 3 T of Clear Jel for Berries that fill of the 9.5" pie shell. If you want it thinner, somewhat juicier or more runny, just add less till it's the texture you like. It holds up wonderfully in the Refrigerator as well.
Review: I can not say enough about this product, we love this. I make homemade pudding and pie filling and this works like a charm. I will definitely be buying this again. If you are thinking about buying this, just do it and you will not be disappointed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does using Cher Jel replace using powder pectin in a recipe?**
A: Clear jel can be used instead of pectin look up online recipes & follow the directions. I like using it because you can cut your amount of sugar. Make sure to mix the clear jel with some of the sugar before putting it in the batch of jam you are making or you will have lumps. If it is too thick add some !iquid or too thin add more clear jel.

**Q: what is the main ingredient in this product?**
A: According to the label: "Clearjel is a modified cornstarch"..."thickens without cooking, works well with acidic ingredients, and is able to tolerate high temperatures." For instance, to make blackberry pie filling, you mix Clearjel with dry ingredients, then into your clean blackberries, fill canning jars and hot water bath process. Pies made with Clearjel can be frozen and reheated.

**Q: Can the clear jel or instant clear jel be useed to thicken gravy instead of flour or constarch**
A: No, it would glob up because it's instant.  Use potato flour or tapioca flour (dissolved in water) if you don't want to use regular flour or cornstarch.  Clear jell has to be mixed with sugar or something before adding it, but it's fantastic for fresh fruit that you use for a garnish or put on pancakes, etc.  Just mix it with something before you use it OR add it right out of the jar to whatever you want to thicken in your blender - works great that way on stuff you don't want to cook.  I LOVE IT!

**Q: I didn't know to mix my gel w/sugar so ended up w/lumps in my cherry pie filling, I mixed it as best I could, will this effect the taste/consistency?**
A: Should not affect taste ... not sure about consistency since you did not indicate proportions.  In typical apple pie you mix 1-2 Tablesp jel with 1/2 your sugar before combining everything.  For berry pie smash about 1/4 of the fruit, add the other 3/4, sprinkle with 1/2 the sugar and set aside for 30 min to create liquid.  Combine 3-5Tablesp jel with the rest of the sugar.  At the end combine everything and pour into baked and cooled crust...Chill until ready to serve.  Top with whipped cream if desired.  These are guidelines...If you like a stiffer filling use the higher amount of jel...if you want it barely thickened then use less.    Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by L***I on 5 November 2023*

I'd already been looking into this for the possibility of making homemade instant pudding mix, but what really put me over the edge was when my last mixed berry crisp came out way too watery. I use frozen berries, and cornstarch just doesn't have the thickening power needed to make them set up. Just yesterday I tried again after having ordered this wonderful stuff. I whisked together 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of instant clearjel, and then tossed my 1 lb. of frozen berries in that before adding them to the 9" round cake pan and covering with the crisp topping. The results were miraculous! My berry crisp set up perfectly, instead of the pan soaking in loose berry juices that were difficult to scoop up. The crisp mix I prefer is Concord Fresh Success apple crisp mix, and I like to use a pound of frozen mixed berries that includes blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries. That extra tartness makes for a wonderful holiday dessert, and the acidity didn't interfere with the clearjel's thickening power. One important tip: I read that you really do need to mix this with sugar to change how quickly the clearjel absorbs liquid, so it doesn't clump. Obviously for sugar-free recipes you'd use whatever sweetener you prefer.
