INSTANT CLEARJEL is a pre-gelatinized, modified food starch derived from waxy maize.
It has good heat and acid tolerance making it well suited for applications containing acid or those that require cooking or baking.
It can be used in dry mix gravies and sauces that are heated and in many bakery applications where its heat and acid stability are desired.
It is particularly well suited for instant fruit pie fillings where it is used to thicken the filling (without cooking) before it is deposited into pie crusts. The pies are then baked.
Each bag contains 1lb of INSTANT CLEARJEL
Instant Clearjel is a modified corn starch that is popular with pie bakers but is generally not available in stores. Do not use the instant version for canning of pie fillings. It is designed for heating only the one time which is when the pie is actually baked. It is recommended that INSTANT CLEARJEL be thoroughly blended with sugar or other dry ingredients be-fore it is added to liquids in order to prevent lumping and to insure smoothness. The presence of sugar acts to control the rate of the hydration of the starch. Each bag contains 1lb of INSTANT CLEARJEL.
