6 Tbsp. corn starch or Clearjel (if canning)

Remove from heat and stir in butter, stirring until melted. Pour into bowl, cover with saran wrap and allow to cool on counter top while you make your crust.
To Can: Place hot filling into 8 oz. or pint jars, seal with lids and process in hot water bath canner 10
minutes. Remove jars from canner and allow to cool on a kitchen towel on your countertop 24 hours undisturbed. Lids are sealed when button on top of seal depresses.
If I want to use for a pie, what's next? Pour in cooked crust and bake, chill, pour in unbaked crust and bake? How long to chill or bake?
ReplyDeleteBake your crust, let cool, pour in lemon pie filling and let set at room temperature... then chill if desired.
