What are the ingredients in fruit pudding?

Answer 1

I use corn starch. Cherries and juice in a sauce pan on the stove. Corn starch and water stirred in and simmer until it thickens. The filling will thicken more when it cools after baking, so about the consistency of mayonnaise.

Answer 2

What I do to thicken pie filling is add an equal mixture of all purpose flour and powdered sugar. Mix until your pie filling is thickened. Make sure not to add too much, because pie filling is sweet by itself! If this doesn't work, you can try either cornstarch of tapioca. Add to the filling and mix. If neither of these work, the last resort is to add orange marmalade. This is less bitter than cornstarch, but may sway your taste a bit to more orange-y taste than what you had intended.

Answer 3

Traditionally, cornstarch, but flour works well too. Just be sure to either mix it with a little water to avoid clumps or sift it into the fruit.

Answer 4

You can thicken fruit fillings with corn starch.
