…… Canning berry pie filling

[John Deere Girl]

Does anyone have a berry pie filling recipe for canning that doesn't require clear gel?I can't seem to find one. I am wondering if I can substitute sugar for the clear gel.

The clear gel is for thickening. You can leave it out and then just add a thickener when you pull the jars to use them. No need to substitute anything.

I've seen recipes using cornstarch (don't remember where). I would just can the berries straight in light syrup, then add sugar and thickener at time of use.

Yes, as others have said... just leave it out and add your thickener (flour, cornstarch or tapioca) when you make your pie. It 8s a thickener that doesn't break down during canning.
