During a miscarried pregnancy about 3 years ago I had a bad reaction to pork and ever since then I haven’t been able to stomach it. I can’t even eat Jell-O because of the pork gelatin used in it! I even called the Jell-O Company to verify that they used pork to get the gelatin because I couldn’t figure out why I was getting migraines every time I tried to eat Jell-O.
So I was wondering if anyone has tried the Chill-Over. I am really excited about this alternative but I haven’t tried it yet. I am seriously considering ordering the bulk box from MJF though since it is only $17.
Anyone have any Chill-Over recipes they would like to share?

Hi, Alee! I really like the Chill-Over powder - especially in recipes with chocolate! Also, if you have the Farm Kitchen issue of the MJF magazine, you'll find some wonderful recipes in there, too.
Enjoy!!!
XOXO, Libbie

Alee, you can't beat Chill Over. I like the chocolate recipes too. I've been using the chocolate as pie fillings, delicious. The fruit chillovers are great too. You can use any liquid you want. One really great things is they do not melt in the heat.

Alee,
Chill Over powder is great stuff, I made Brown Sugar and Vanilla Chillover on page 165 of the Farm Kitchen issue....
YUM!
I have also made the key lime pie from "MaryJane's Idea Book" page 113
I have made it 2 or 3 times and everyone loves it.

I got some Chill-Over powder today! I am in love! It is the first time in 3 years that I have had a gelatin that did not give me a migraine!
Fiance and I decided to experiment since you can flavor the Chill-Over with any liquid. I made a hot cocoa and put a little peppermint extract in it. We had chocolate mint Chill-Over!
One thing I was wondering about is cooking with it. I know that chicken stock tastes/has a better mouth-feel than chicken broth because of the natural gelatin in it. I wonder if Chill-Over can be used to make a chicken broth have a chicken stock mouth-feel.
Anyone tried this?
I shall experiment and let you know...
Ciao

I don't have the chill over powder but I do have the agar-agar which is the same as her chill over I think. I'm just used to using the japanese agar-agar powder probably because of my mom.

Hi Ladies-
Just another thought as I am playing with the Chill-Over powder in my cooking...
I can't remember where it was that I read this, but MaryJane has a tip for using her Chill-Over powder: You can put it in a salt or pepper shaker so that as you add it to the liquid you won't get clumps. I know she mentioned this somewhere. I just can't remember if it was on one of the forums or in one of the magazines.
I found a cute mini mason jar with a handle on it for $3 in one stall of a local antique market and in another stall found a lid to fid in a miscellaneous pile for $1. It seems to work perfectly so far!
Ciao

Hi Alee!
I'm glad you're having so much fun with the ChillOver Powder! I found the article you were thinking of (the one about the salt shaker). It's in Artists In Aprons (magazine #9) on page 137 at the very bottom.
Enjoy!

Theresa-
Thanks so much for sparking my memory!
Also I did add some of the Chill-Over powder to my stew and it works beautifully to give that mouth-feel of having used stock instead of broth. As far as I am concerned- my kitchen is never going to be without it again.
Now I want to go buy a turkey so I can see how it does in gravy :)

I have a question about using the Chillover powder. Today I made the Chocolate Cayenne Chillover that's in the Farm Kitchen magazine. I was going along great, made the chocolate part, and set it aside to cool. I thought it would take longer to cool, so I ate a quick lunch, then when I went to check it, it had already solidified in the pot, so I had to beat it and break it up as best I could. I went ahead with the recipe, can't waste those kind of ingredients, and I have a dessert that will probably taste great tonight, but has small chunks of chocolate base throughout that didn't quite mix in.
Has anyone ever warmed it up again, if it sets in the pot before you get to fold it into the whipped cream? I didn't know if this would alter it or not.

I have never tried re-heating it. I guess you could take a really small sample and try to experiment with it. Let us know how it goes!

Canadian farmgirl and Alee, you sure can reheat till melted, just don't recook. Your right Lori, it does cool quickly, so don't leave that poor fellow alone. It's like when I toast in the oven, I can't take my hand off the door handle or it will burn!
I love the Chocolate Cayenne Chillover! It is great with a few shortbread cookies on the side.

Thank you Alee, do you know if you can use pears? I know they take longer to cook because they can be firmer than berries.

Just made (12) 4 oz jars of Strawberry jam using this recipe...looks/smells and tastes delicious! Very excited that you only need 1/2 the sugar using the chillover powder compared to a "regular" recipe that calls for 4 cups sugar. This is my first year canning, and I am planning on giving my homemade goods for Christmas gifts. Thanks for the recipe Alee!
Smiles,
