Hi. Will Clear Jel change the flavor of what I add it to, maybe give it a starchy taste? Or is it flavorless? Thanks.

It's been a couple of years since I used it to make pudding. If I remember correctly, I should have made it so that it was chilled for at least 24 hrs because my grandson didn't like it the day I made it. It tasted better the next day. I don't think it would probably change the taste of what you're adding it to. I don't know what you're using it for though.

I would imagine that you can. Just add some fruit juice and stir until dissolved. Possibly may have to experiment with it. I know you can add it to soups and stews to thicken so I assume a fruit flavored jello would also work.

For me, the flavor changes a lot with the texture/consistency. If you get the powder/liquid ratio right, it tastes like a delicious chocolate shake. If it's too dilute, it's kind of like a gross artificially sweetened juice. If it's too concentrated, it's chunky. I also ONLY like the chocolate flavor, and really don't like the others...

I tried it in a flan (which is a custard). I thought it gave it a gritty texture. I wouldn't use it again. I have'nt tried it in anything else.

I got candy flavoring from Amazon too. It Works great and tastes great, but you have to experiment with it to find out how you like it. Start with a few drops and add to taste.

Hi Josh. Its kind of like a graham cracker flavor. I mix mine in a blender bottle. It would be smoother if you used a regular blender, maybe making taste even better. Its not an overwhelming flavor. It took a few sips to get used to, I wasn't sure at first, but I like it a lot now. I hope this helps :)

1 pound package of Clear Jel which is about 3 to 3 1/2 cups enough to make at least 7 or more quarts pie filling. The positive side with regard to the safety of Clear Jel is that the modified cornstarch does not start to thicken the produce and filling until it begins the cooling process. The heat is better distributed during water bathing in the jar which leaves you with a safer product. I hope this answers your question if not check here http://www.sbcanning.com/2011/08/canning-pie-filling-education-in-clear.html?m=1

My Amish neighbor says 'no' for using clear jel. She (and we) use pectin. Clear jel is used to thicken baked fruit dishes like pies, cobblers, etc...

I have not used it except to make egg custard pie. It is a little bland in taste. Sorry I can't help you.

I seriously don't think so. Instant clear jel is used for thickening puddings, gravies, sauces, syrups, spreads, and even for canning jellies and jams. Rather than add moisture to something it congeals the liquid so that it is no longer thin without having to cook it to activate it's thickening or congealing properties.

Yes, In fact they suggest using clear jel when canning because cornstarch makes things alkaline.

absolutely not!! MSG is a flavor enhancer and this yeast does not need that it taste great on it's own. It has a wonderful nutty flavor. I use it in all kinds of recipes that I want to add a cheesy nutty flavor to. I put it in at the end of the cooking stage. I use it in fried cabbage! mmmm, spaghetti, rice, just about anything you would want to add a cheesy flavor and I put 2 Tablespoons in water in the morning stir it and drink it for B vitamins and nutrients. It's a part of my daily nutrients. Very good for you. You can't go wrong buying it. In fact it's the best yeast I've ever used. You can actually get a flush from it which is healthy. absolutely not!!

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.

It's similar to clear jel, but not the same. Clear jel, like many other thickeners, requires heat to make it thick. Ultra gel will thicken without heat.

We used jello with additional gelatin and had good results. Try different jello flavors, ie the jolly rancher ones?

It works fine just use 3 tbsp. as you would with a small packet of Jell-O, stir with 1 cup boiling water for 2 minutes, then add a cup of cold water, mix well and refrigerate.

I have done both at the same time with no flavor transfer at all. If you plan on making jerky just make sure you wash it well before you use it again.
