It offers exceptional heat and acid resistance, making it perfect for pie fillings, syrups, sauces, and refrigerated or frozen dishes. Trusted by home chefs and professionals alike, this natural thickener ensures smooth, lump-free textures with minimal effort. ## Description Instant Clear Jel is an amazing food starch that thickens foods instantly without cooking. Use it in cold drinks and pie fillings. It is recommended that INSTANT CLEARJEL be thoroughly blended with sugar or other dry ingredients before 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. INSTANT CLEARJEL will begin to swell or thicken as soon as it is added to water, milk or juices; it will impart a smooth, short texture when fully hydrated. The viscosity will increase slightly upon heating. It has excellent heat and acid resistance and can be used in acid containing foods and in those applications where heating is required. INSTANT CLEARJEL also has good cold temperature storage stability making it particularly well suited for refrigerated and frozen foods. Store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigeration or freezing. Hoosier Hill Farm is located in America's heartland of northeast Indiana. Our products and ingredients are guaranteed fresh and we are proud of our heritage and good, old-fashioned values! Review: Great Clear Jel !! - This is my second purchase of the Hoosier Hill Farm Instant Clear Jel. I use it for a lot of baking projects. I also use the Hoosier Hill Farm heat activated Clear Jel for pies and gravys. That should tell you that I like Hoosier Hill Farm products. This clear jel works great, has no after taste and thickens liquids perfectly - much better then cornstarch, flour or tapioca. Review: This saved my berry crisp! - I'd already been looking into this for the possibility of making homemade instant pudding mix, but what really put me over the edge was when my last mixed berry crisp came out way too watery. I use frozen berries, and cornstarch just doesn't have the thickening power needed to make them set up. Just yesterday I tried again after having ordered this wonderful stuff. I whisked together 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of instant clearjel, and then tossed my 1 lb. of frozen berries in that before adding them to the 9" round cake pan and covering with the crisp topping. The results were miraculous! My berry crisp set up perfectly, instead of the pan soaking in loose berry juices that were difficult to scoop up. The crisp mix I prefer is Concord Fresh Success apple crisp mix, and I like to use a pound of frozen mixed berries that includes blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries. That extra tartness makes for a wonderful holiday dessert, and the acidity didn't interfere with the clearjel's thickening power. One important tip: I read that you really do need to mix this with sugar to change how quickly the clearjel absorbs liquid, so it doesn't clump. Obviously for sugar-free recipes you'd use whatever sweetener you prefer. ## Features - Hoosier Hill Farm Instant Clear Jel instantly thickens foods without cooking!

I like using it because you can cut your amount of sugar. Make sure to mix the clear jel with some of the sugar before putting it in the batch of jam you are making or you will have lumps. If it is too thick add some !iquid or too thin add more clear jel. **Q: what is the main ingredient in this product?** A: According to the label: "Clearjel is a modified cornstarch"..."thickens without cooking, works well with acidic ingredients, and is able to tolerate high temperatures." For instance, to make blackberry pie filling, you mix Clearjel with dry ingredients, then into your clean blackberries, fill canning jars and hot water bath process. Pies made with Clearjel can be frozen and reheated. **Q: Can the clear jel or instant clear jel be useed to thicken gravy instead of flour or constarch** A: No, it would glob up because it's instant. Use potato flour or tapioca flour (dissolved in water) if you don't want to use regular flour or cornstarch. Clear jell has to be mixed with sugar or something before adding it, but it's fantastic for fresh fruit that you use for a garnish or put on pancakes, etc. Just mix it with something before you use it OR add it right out of the jar to whatever you want to thicken in your blender - works great that way on stuff you don't want to cook. I LOVE IT! **Q: I didn't know to mix my gel w/sugar so ended up w/lumps in my cherry pie filling, I mixed it as best I could, will this effect the taste/consistency?** A: Should not affect taste ... not sure about consistency since you did not indicate proportions. In typical apple pie you mix 1-2 Tablesp jel with 1/2 your sugar before combining everything. For berry pie smash about 1/4 of the fruit, add the other 3/4, sprinkle with 1/2 the sugar and set aside for 30 min to create liquid. Combine 3-5Tablesp jel with the rest of the sugar. At the end combine everything and pour into baked and cooled crust...Chill until ready to serve. Top with whipped cream if desired. These are guidelines...If you like a stiffer filling use the higher amount of jel...if you want it barely thickened then use less. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Clear Jel !! *by A***N on 26 June 2026* This is my second purchase of the Hoosier Hill Farm Instant Clear Jel.

As long as it's only cooked or baked once, it holds up just fine. You can use it for a glaze over fresh strawberry pie, or you can heat it on the stove in a sauce, or use it for baking a fruit pie. This is very handy for thickening all kinds of things. I used it in my dairy-free pumpkin pie this year which has always been a little loose until now. Since I use coconut cream (canned) and not sweetened condensed milk, there is more moisture in my pies. I prefer to only use 2 eggs to avoid an eggy taste. I added 2 tablespoons, and was able to make a pie firm enough to slice the way normal pumpkin pie is. It works when making cream pies too out of melted chocolate and coconut cream. I even tried some in a coconut-pecan frosting, to emulate the German's chocolate cake type. Since I avoid dairy, and the original recipes call for sweetened condensed milk and/or yolks, I just played around with adding some clear jel. I'd advise going lightly. My first attempt seemed fine when I dressed the cake, but turned a hint of rubbery the next day instead of "creamy." Simply cutting back by a teaspoon gave a more natural result. I intend to try this in making non-dairy ice cream too. I make the kinds with a custard base. Somewhere I got a recipe that calls for substituting corn starch in place of eggs. I have been using a recipe where I use both eggs and corn starch, but this next season, I am going to use clear jel in place of the regular corn starch. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hoosier Hill Farm Instant Clear Jel, 1.5LB (Pack of 1) - Hoosier Hill Farm Clear Jel Thickener (Cook-Type), 1.5LB (Pack of 1) - Hoosier Hill Farm Fruit Pectin, 2LB (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/509480149-instant-clear-jel-1-5lb-pack-of-1](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/509480149-instant-clear-jel-1-5lb-pack-of-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
