When canning pie filling, recipes use Clear Jel as the thickener. It produces a thick, clear consistency and survives the heat treatment of canning.
But locating Clear Jel is a challenge. If you are in the St. Mary’s, KS area, stop by the Sugar Creek Country Store and pick up your supply of Clear Jel (Cook Type).
The Rapid Response Center was formed in 1995 as a resource for Kansas State University Research & Extension Agents. Resource topics included Food Science, Human Nutrition, Food Service, Textiles, Home Care and other consumer topics. Since that time, the Center has grown to be of valuable assistance to Kansas State University Extension Specialists in those areas.
