I am retired and have taken over the kitchen, much to the dismay of my wife! I read your blogs regularly and have tried your other recipes with a measure of success. I will be trying out this one over the weekend, but, as I do not have the clearjel, can I use tapioca as a thickener instead. I do have cornstarch, but would like to try with tapioca if it is possible. Any adjustments if I do? Marvin, as with cornstarch, I'd suggest cooking the filling fully. Mix the berries and sugar and tapioca till the berries start to get mushy and give up their juice; then let it sit for about 20 minutes, then heat gently till the mixture thickens. Should work just fine - PJH
