[Sca-cooks] Thank you - re: pies

[Tara Sersen Boroson]

Thank you, everyone who replied to my pie thickening thread.  Sorry I 
wasn't more prompt - I'm on too many high-volume lists for my own good, 
and it was a spring cleaning weekend!  Huette, I'll try the 3 tbsp 
tapioca, since your recipe had approximately the same volume of fruit as 
mine.  I prefer it to the NotStarch for a couple of reasons - it can be 
gotten in an organic variety, it's far less expensive, and I can get a 
little bag instead of a big canister.  Maire, both corn starch and rice 
flour should be safe, but my problem was that I didn't know how much of 
either to use - or arrowroot, or any other thickener.  I could have 
ended up with either a totally liquid pie or one thicker than finger 
jello, and figured I'd ask for advice before spending the money to 
experiment :)
