Clear Jel Cook-Type, 1.5LB (Pack of 1)

Works great. Does jell up like cornstarch after it cools. Not lumpy and thicken great

Worked well

I've used this to can both apple & peach pie fillings. No added flavor & works as intended. This is my second year using this brand.

Works great. I used it to make home canned pie filling

Thickened my pie pretty well, without noticeable effect on taste. But the Amazon shipping was just the heavy paper bag, and this product was in a plastic container, which cracked on 2 corners... either before being packed, or in transit in that nonpadded, soft packaging. Luckily, I didn't lose much of the powder, and I opened the bag slowly, or I would've had thickener powder all over the kitchen.

This is hard to find in a local store, this is easy to use in canning process

This stuff works exceptionally well.

Fantastic product. Makes a great apple pie filling for canning.

Nachtrag 1 Jahr später: die Qualität der eingekochten Äpfel ist weiterhin 1A! Die Stärke ist einfach super! Ich koche und backe seit Jahren viele us-amerikanische Rezepte und habe ich mich zuletzt auch an Apple Pie getraut. Wir haben dieses Jahr so viele Äpfel im Garten gepflückt und diese wollte ich haltbar machen und bin auf ein Rezept für Apple Pie Filling zum Einkochen gestoßen - dafür brauchte ich Clear Jel. Dank Amazon war dies kein Problem - meiner Suche nach gibt es in Deutschland nichts vergleichbares. Die Stärke klumpt nicht und verwandelt sich beim Einkochen in klares Gel. Das tolle ist, dass die eingekochte Füllung nach dem Abkühlen in den Gläsern wieder erhitzt werden kann - eben beim backen des Pies mit der Füllung - und sich keine Klumpen bilden, wie es mit normaler Stärke der Fall wäre. Die Stärke ist in einem Kunststoffbehälter verpackt und sicher versiegelt. Haltbarkeit ist ebenso top! Ich werde definitiv noch mehr damit Einkochen und mich auch daran versuchen, das Clear Jel zum Kochen und Backen zu nutzen. Es lohnt sich !

This stuff works great, takes longer to thicken than regular cornstarch, but this stuff can be used for presscanning your foods that need thickening like stews, soups, or pie fillings, etc. The only problem is the Best Before dating is only a little over a year from date of purchase. But then again does cornstarch or modified cornstarch ever really go bad?

I have got into canning food at home and my research led me to purchase a pack of this Clearjel cornstarch product. It works very well - very similar to the job done by bog standard cornflour but remains stable during the intense heat of the pressure canning process. However I was frustrated to find it out of stock when I came to buy a second pack. This led me to research what exactly Clearjel is. Turns out it is something called 'waxy maize starch'. Apparently beloved by body builders and so I purchased a pack of Peak Supplements waxy maize powder and gave it a try in some vegetable soup. Worked like a dream! Time will tell if it stands up to lengthy storage and then reheating, but a jar reheated, kept its thickness perfectly.

Used it to make strawberry rhubarb pie filling. This product is a bit kore starchy than the last one I used so we cut the amount back by 1/2 cup from the recipe as the first batch was a bit starchy tasting. It worked extremely well! Gonna get some more as the kids are wanting to make lots this fall!

Haven't used the clear jel yet from this order, however, I have purchased this same container in the past and it has worked very well. Takes a bit of time to thicken which is normal, but once it starts to thicken, it happens very quickly. Home made pie filling is light years better in taste than canned filling.
