I use King Arthur Clear jel all the time and love it. I make a lot of berry pies and they set up great and no soggy crust. I like the Pie enhancer if I am making apple or peach pie as it keeps the fruit from turning dark. Their are a lot of other things that can be used, but I have found that these items do a lot better job.
