I’ve had two requests for the Rhubarb Pie filling which was on the Canning Recipes on Facebook so I thought that I would put it here so everything was in one place. This is a very simple and basic pie filling and I have also added the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie filling recipe below that uses Clear Jel.
This is One Quart Recipe. For more than one quart you will double or triple it for all ingredients. You can now purchase Clear Jel (Non-GMO and Gluten Free) from SB Canning Store.. Click Here!

Posted on: March 15, 2020I did several jars of rhubarb pie filling, but one was not filled to the top like it was supposed to. It is now discolored.
Can i still use it?

Posted on: March 15, 2020These ingredient amounts in the rhubarb pie filling don’t make sense:
3/4 + 2 cups + T. sugar
1/4 + 1 cup+T. Clear Jel

Posted on: March 15, 2020I don’t understand the measurements for the sugar and clear gel in the rhubarb pie. It says 1/4 c + 1 c + T. Is it supposed to be 1-1/4 c + 1 T?
