Cornstarch?

LisaMarie · 08-10-2010, 05:45 AM

I've been canning up a storm and loving every minute of it!

I'm wondering though, as I prep to make peach pie filling, about cornstarch. I've been reading that I really should use something called ClearJel instead, but seeing as I don't really have the time to order some or the $ to, do you think it's fine to just use cornstarch?

This would just be for my family - I'm not planning to sell any.

I used cornstarch in apple pie filling and had no problems at all.
