Can I use clear jel in beef stew and then can it?

I don't know why not this is great for pie filling as a thickener. This doesn't separate as corn starch will do. Clear jel is a great product to use in the canning process

I have a recipe to make tomato soup concentrate with the clear jell before canning it. Then again another recipe says to add it when you open the jar to reheat(that ones for chicken pot pie filling though).

I would make the beef stew and then add the clear jel after you open it. I have used it in apple and peach pie filling and it turned out great.

Hi Gary,I don't see why not. You can use the Hoosier Clear Jel for pie fillings, I've used it for jams and BB-Q sauces and then canned it with beautiful results. The only advice I will give you is to make a little "slurry" before adding it to your stew. It just blends up so nicely this way. Hope that helps! I love all the Hoosier items I've ordered so far so I feel obligated to help others! <grins>

I have cooked ground beef and stew beef in mine with good results but I don't think it make the beef any more tender than cooking on top of the stove, it was just quicker and cooked, ate, and stored (in refrigerator) from same pot. I use mine almost every day. Have even cooked pasta in it for Kraft Mac & Cheese.

If you are going to use it yourself the roll on is great. If you share and want to rub it in deep get the jell. Sory never used spay. I do not think you can rub that in

Thick Gel is a slightly different starch, NonGMO, but works in a similar fashion. Anyplace Clear Jel is used you can use a slightly lower amount of Thick Gel generally with a better result, as Thick Gel doesn't clump or cloud the way Clear Jel often does.

It all depends on the recipe, I have made several gallons of apple pie filling and it took very little Clear jel. I will be able to make many more batches canning fruit with the 1.5# of Hoosier Farm Jel. I love it, but be cafeful, it can get messy because of the texture of the powder.

I have never used clear jel, but I can tell you I love this stuff. It thickens hot or cold and is so easy. No taste no lumps I have not used flour or corn starch since I bought the Ultra Gel.

We mixed the clear jel with some not heated liquid in the blender. Add the blended clear jel slowly, stiring constantly, only after the batch is boiling.

I like the regular clear jel, tried both. the instant thickens immediately and seems to have globs. hope this answer question.

I use this to make balistic(?) Gel so you can definitely use it to make jello. The more concentrated you have the gel to water ratio the thicker your cube of gel will be.

you can ,BUT the amount per serving isn't going to be enough. you need to look for something else for adults it's hard to find something like this with gelatin free ,or even beef gelatin,Kosher

You don't! You need pectin for that. Clear-jell is a corn starch....think the "goop" peaches are in in peach pie. Good luck w/the jam.

In order to use Clear Jel, it has to be mixed with the other dry ingredients in your recipe BEFORE any liquid is added. If you try to mix it with a liquid right out of the bag, you get a mess of lumps that are hard to stir out. With that being said,it's hard to determine how clear it really is. I use it mainly for apple pie filling and it doesn't detract at all from the color of the apples. If anyone has successfully mixed it wet, I would wager it's probably as clear as jello or gelatin.

Well, I think so but its very easy. Use one cure packet and one seasoning packet per one pound of meat. Mix it really well if your using ground meat and let it sit refrigerated over night and dehydrate it the next day. The jerky gun is self explanatory, it just screws together. I would hand wash it though, no dishwashers. ☺

I tried using Clear Jel instead of classic pectin when canning blackberry jalapeno jam and it worked for that recipe. Not sure how it would work for any other recipes, though. Ball has recipes for Clear Jel.

No, Knox is gelatin so it will not make instant pudding. Instant clear gel is a modified corn starch. I use it with soy milk and different flavorings because my son is milk intolerent. It works great and tastes good.

Yes- just put in small amounts at a time, preferably cooked. If you put in too much, it is harder to make it super smooth. This will make it as fine as jarred baby food.
