HELP!! is Instant CLear Jel different than Sure Jell? I made 2 batches of the filling (one blueberry) with Sure Jell and it does not seem as thick as it should be. What can I do to fix it? I was thinking of re-cooking it with cornstarch, but I'm afraid it will be overcooked. Any suggestions? Thanks. No, they're not the same thing, Fran - different manufacturer, minimum. I'm not sure what Sure Jell is, but I assume it does the same thing as ClearJel - thickens things. I'd imagine, with your result, that Sure Jell doesn't have as much thickening power? I think at this point your only choice is to simmer it to the thickness you like, or add some cornstarch mixed with water and cook briefly. Don't worry - it'll still taste good. PJH
