1 each Stp. powdered ascorbic ascid
1 gallon Water

½ cup Plus, 2 Tbsp. quick-cooking tapioca
¼ cup Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Salt

Recommended storage time: 6 months. To bake, remove foil from frozen pie filling and place it, unthawed, in a pasty lined 9" pie pan. Dot with butter and if you like, sprinkle on ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg or cinnamon. Adjust top crust; flute edges and cut vents. Bake in hot oven (425 F) 1 hour and 10 minutes or until syrup boils with heavy bubbles that do not burst.
