I would especially appreciate ones for lemon meringue pie or a coconut creme pie. Kathy Dietch, RB, Box RW4C, Carlisle, Pa QUESTION-1 would like a recipe for making jams and jellies using dear-jell purchased by the pound. Mary Reinecker, York Springs, Pa ANSWER-1 am writing in the answer to the request as to why instant pudding tastes soapy. I had the same problem myself and I wrote to General Foods. They told me that using raw milk with products like instant pudding and/or Cool Whip will cause a chemical reaction with the enzymes in raw milk. It will give a soapy or metallic taste to the dessert you make. They suggested using only pasturized or homogenized milk with these products.
