Clearjel Canning Starch - Cook Type

Clearjel (Cook Type), a modified cornstarch, is widely utilized by commercial bakers in fruit pie fillings. This cornstarch is increasingly being used in homemade fillings as well, due to its unique structure. The cornstarch works well with acidic ingredients and can tolerate high temperatures.

For general directions, Clearjel should be used as a thickener, with approximately 1/4 cup of Clearjel per 1 quart of liquid. The liquid should be brought to a boil before adding the Clearjel. It is important not to overboil, as this can cause the starch to break down and thin out again.

One of the key advantages of using Clearjel is its suitability for canning homemade pie fillings. Unlike other thickeners, Clearjel does not begin to thicken until the liquid starts to cool, making it an ideal choice for preserving the texture and consistency of homemade pie fillings.

The 5 Lb (80 Oz) Tub of Clearjel (Cook Type) is distributed by WinCrest Bulk Foods, providing a convenient and readily available source for both commercial bakers and home cooks.

In summary, Clearjel (Cook Type) is a modified cornstarch that offers several benefits for both commercial and homemade fruit pie fillings. Its ability to work well with acidic ingredients, tolerate high temperatures, and maintain its thickening properties during the canning process make it a versatile and valuable ingredient in the world of baking.
