I used it instead of flour to thicken some peach pies and it works very well. Review: The best thickening agent - The best food, thickener barn, specially for clam chowder, chicken, soup, beef stew, where you can add this powder at the end when the temperature of the liquid is very hot as opposed to using cornstarch which you have to mix with cold water with the lumps are very present and require a lot of effort for a smooth result. It is also excellent for a slurry. ## Features - Hoosier Hill Farm Clear Jel is a modified cornstarch that aids in thickening a variety of recipes. Our classic cook-type formulation has a great tolerance for high temperatures. This makes it ideal for canning fruit pie fillings and making smooth gravies and sauces. Clear Jel works well with all types of ingredients, including acidic ones, and has a strong stability during freezing and thawing. - How to Use: When using Clear Jel to thicken a pie filling or compote, we recommend first mixing it with an equal amount of water. To thicken one batch of fruit pie filling (enough for a 9-inch pie), start by mixing 1 tablespoon of Clear Jel with 1 tablespoon of water. Use a fork or whisk to make sure the mixture is smooth. Once combined, add the mixture directly to your pot of filling. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until bubbles appear. The filling will begin to thicken once removed from heat. - For thickening pie filling, the recommendation is 1 tbsp Clear Jel Cook Type to 4 cups of berries and 1 ½ tbsp for six apples. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigeration or freezing thickeners. - Product of the USA. - Allergens: Packaged in a facility that processes dairy, soy, peanuts, and wheat products. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009C9BSGK | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,273 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #21 in Corn Starches | | Brand | Hoosier Hill Farm | | Brand Name | Hoosier Hill Farm | | Coin Variety 1 | Corn Starch | | Container Type | Jar | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 13,134 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Weight | 0.76 Kilograms | | Item Type Name | Clear Jel Powder | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Hoosier Hill Farm | | Material Feature | Vegetarian | | Material Features | Vegetarian | | Model Number | HHF81 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.76 Kilograms | | Part Number | HHF81 | | Set Name | 1.5 lbs | | Size | 24 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 853881004267 | | Unit Count | 24.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hoosier Hill Farm - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds - **Material Feature:** Vegetarian - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 24.0 Ounce ## Images ![Clear Jel Thickener (Cook Type) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bwGuwlinL.jpg) ![Clear Jel Thickener (Cook Type) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uQYMbQPrL.jpg) ![Clear Jel Thickener (Cook Type) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81L4nB90isL.jpg) ![Clear Jel Thickener (Cook Type) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SgUvKqzfL.jpg) ![Clear Jel Thickener (Cook Type) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fgO1BgqvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this product use GMO corn?** A: To date nobody is ever required to list their product as GMO in the USA, thanks to corporations like Monsanto who lobby the government and pay legislator think tanks in their favor. In our world all corn and corn products are GMO unless it's organic. Even some organic farms have gotten contaminated if they are next to GMO farms, in some cases Monsanto has tried to sue them for "stealing" their "corn". Pathetic truth, the more you research the more you'll learn. **Q: I have a container of clear jel which I ordered last year. It will not mix and clumps into a waxy gook and will not dissolve. Whats wrong?** A: Cornstarch even modified cornstarch has to be mixed in a slurry before you add the rest of the water, otherwise it will clump everytime. **Q: What is the shelf life of this product?** A: We place the shelf life of our Clear Jel at 10 to 12 months from the date of manufacture. The specific date will be printed on the back label of each jar. Thank you! **Q: Can this be used to make ballistic gel?** A: To be clear no not to make it per say but it may be used for a thickener possibly and thats a very possible.. it may cloud up though... Im looking for polymer resin I guess we can make gel wax with 95% mineral oil and 5% resin... Im just wondering why its so hard to find polymer resin and find out the right one... or if epoxy resin might work. let me know what you find ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Thickener to use instead of flour. *by J***N on April 12, 2026* What a great value.
