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

According to the recipe I have, if you are doing a single quart it would be 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of clear jel to 3-1/2 cups of blueberries. If you are doing 7 quarts it would be 2-1/4 cups clear jel to 6 quarts of blueberries. Hope this helps.

3 1/2 cups blueberries, 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 + 1 tablespoon clear jel, 1 cup cold water, 3 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice. Combine sugar & clear jel in medium sauce pan. Add water. Cook on medium until thickens & bubbles. Add lemon juice & boil 1 minute. Fold in blueberries. Fill jars & hot water bath for 30 minutes.

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! &lt;grins&gt;

You could try it the are small. When we made individual fruit pies the amount of filling we used was 1 tablespoon. They are just the right size for one serving. Good luck!

i use 4 tablespoons when making a quart and i like it fine; i'd start with that and adjust it to your taste - there's no right or wrong amount as far as i'm concerned

Use the smallest screen and it works better than anything I've ever seen at removing blackberry seeds. I've made 30+ quarts of blackberry jam and over a dozen blackberry pies with mine.

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...

Just add more water to the fill line. The gel inside lasts a really long time.

It depends on your desired consistency. If you want to turn 4 oz of liquid (not counting pureed foods) into nectar consistency, use 1-2 Tablespoons of Thick-It. For honey consistency, use 2-3 T of Thick-It. And for Pudding consistency, use 3-4 T of Thick-It. I have a 30 oz container of Thick-It. A serving size is 2 T, with 106 servings per container. Hope that helps you with your calculations.

I have used this wonderful canning tool for over 5 years... use it from everything to 4oz - quart size jars... it is the greatest! :0) ... plenty of room for quart jars to have 2 inches of water above them for the 'waterbath' ...

Yes, it will look very "milky" tho until after the canning process is complete. I've used it to make blueberry pie filling and before it goes into the water bath canner, it looks pretty sick very white-looking, but after the processing time, the most beautiful purple color! Only use the regular Clear Jel not the instant.

0.66 (or 20ml) using water to fill level with the top. I wouldn't recomend filling that far. When baking brownies/cakes I "fill" with 10ml. I can freeze about 15ml (1/2 OZ) of baby food or juice without making a huge mess.

I've had the same question myself, but generally fill it with 2-3 quarts of water. You don't fill it as full as you do a regular canner.

The instructions say to use about 6 drops...just be sure you stir it in before you add the jellies. It makes a big difference.

It's been a long time since I canned stuff. I vaguely remember you submerge the jars in boiling water for some period of time. If that's right you can put in 4 quart jars at a time.

My pressure canner is 16 quart and it works really well! You have to experiment with the heat control until you find what works, but then you are on your way to consistent canning! I would highly recommend the cast iron range!

I always fill mine to the fill line on the canister . When finished freezing it is full. Mine is a 5 quart . I must say that it takes a while to freeze. Can't say that it is worth what I paid for it. Just being honest.
