Apple Pie Filling

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. This makes it ideal for canning fruit pie fillings and making smooth gravies and sauces. Clear Jel works well with all types of ingredients, including acidic ones, and has a strong stability during freezing and thawing.

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 to 4 cups of berries and 1 ½ tbsp for six apples.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigeration or freezing thickeners.

Make delicious preserves, stunning fruit fillings, and sweets that are sure to impress with Hoosier Hill Farm’s line of quality thickeners. Add Fruit Pectin to jellies and jams, or try Agar Agar Powder as a vegetarian alternative to gelatin in all your favorite treats.
