Pi (or Pie) Day is 3.14!

Math experts can celebrate this day! But it is also a great excuse to enjoy a piece of pie. Plan now to preserve your own pie filling!

There are four popular fruit pie fillings you can preserve at home, including apple, blueberry, cherry, and peach. Now is the time to plan for canning these tasty fillings. One key ingredient is Clear Jel® in the cook-type form. Do not use instant Clear Jel® for canning. This is a type of corn starch that can withstand the cooking and processing steps and still produce a clear, soft texture. It can be found in bulk food stores or online.
