How to use

Mix Clear Jel with an equal amount of water to form a slurry, then whisk into the hot mixture. For example, to thicken a 9 inch fruit pie filling, combine 1 tablespoon Clear Jel with 1 tablespoon water, whisk until smooth, and stir into the pot. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until bubbles appear. The filling will thicken after removing from heat.

For berry fillings, about 1 tablespoon Clear Jel per 4 cups berries works well; for six apples, about 1 1/2 tablespoons is recommended. These guidelines help you tailor the texture to your preference.
