It dissolved very well and made perfect apple pie filling.

It worked great to thicken my food for canning. I was very impressed with it.

Can't beat this for making homemade pie fillings. I did 30 quarts and 16 pints this year alone and still have plenty left. Stores well (just as regular corn starch) so I just keep in the bag and then an airtight plastic container in between canning seasons.

I absolutely love this thickener!!! It is my new favorite thickener to use in pies, gravies, sauces, really anything I am cooking that I will need to thicken! I highly recommend it!!! The only trick to preventing lumps is to mix the clear jel with sugar or some other ingredient before putting it in the sauce. I have done this and never once had lumps.

My first attempt at canning and decided to try my hand at canning fruit pie fillings. I learned that I should use Clear Jel instead of the traditional flour thickener for canning. This 2.5 lb. bag was way more than I needed for this year's canning but I have used it for other cooking needs, like thickening gravies, stews, etc. It blends effortlessly with the liquids and it works up beautifully. Shipping from this merchant was very quick and will purchase from them again in the future.
