can i use this product to make a clear gel base for fresh fruit to be added to?

I have only used clear gel for canning apple pie filling. It only begins to jel once it is completely dissolved in cold water and then heated. So I'm not sure if this process will work for fresh fruit.

2 layers would probably be a good idea and I would add a sticky tricot and then add the cut-away and put some water soluble stabilizer on the top of the item. I would also definitely do a couple different samples!

What should I use if I want to mix my "own solution"? Ingredients please? All ideas are welcome! :)

I just looked this up online and this would be fine to use in any of the recipes I saw. Looks interesting. I may try it myself. :-)

no I have not tried adding anything to the ice mold. I'm sure the teas would work ok but I think the fruit would need to be something that really freezes hard..not mooshy like some fruit. Also then you will have to clean the blades better than when you just use plain ice where you can just flip it over and wipe clean or air dry

From my experience with this product I would say YES! One tip is to keep it in the frig between uses...this keeps it fresh.

I tried to use this product for jelly...kind of "winging it", but it wouldn't set. I think you'd need the traditional pectin, the kind you boil down. Best of luck.

I've never seen a recipe for jams/jellies that include Clear Jel. Canned fruit pie fillings are about the only items that I've seen to use the Clear Jel. Generally, jams use fruit pectins for the thickening or is other instances just the fruit itself for thickening. The Clear Jel is used when the canned fruit is heated multiple times: first to can the fruit, then in baking the pie. I must stress, I'm relatively new to canning both fruit jams and pie filling.

That's a good idea. I put mine up with clear silicone and it worked well. Good luck.

i would recommend you too use a gel top coat for this product. that way, it wont move or mess up your design.

This was a gift, so I have not used. I would guess that if fruit did not have small seeds and it wasn't pureed, it should be okay.

It must be non water base. Because the sandy texture of the product you will need a lot of it. If you apply a clear coat over it you may be able to combine it with the clear but all depends how glow you want it and the finish you are looking for.

This can be used to puree fruit, but about hot fruit I'm not sure. Maybe you should let it cool and then puree it.

Clear Gel is a modified cornstarch.I use it for home canning as it becomes clear when cooking vs regular cornstarch which can become cloudy and make your home canned goods look very unappealing. I have never used gelatin. Depending on what you are making clear gel may or may not be a suitable substitute.

Depends on how much sand you put in the base. If the base is mostly empty than it should not be a problem, otherwise you will need to meter how much gel you put in the base.

I would imagine that you could if you can keep the texture material the correct consistency . Immediate clean-up would be a must also . This is just my opinion , I have not tried it.
