Peach Pie Filling Recipe
Ingredients:
3 1/2 c. sliced peaches
3/4 c. water
1/4 c. bottled lemon juice
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. Clear Jel*
*Clear Jel is a replacement for cornstarch as a thickener. It is basically the same thing as cornstarch but it is safe for canning, and cornstarch is not. Clear Jel will also give you a nicer, clearer looking pie filling.
It is hard to find Clear Jel in stores, but you can order it from Amazon. A pound will make quite a few jars of pie filling or other canned items such as my sweet and sour sauce.
