Homemade Sugar-Free Instant Vanilla Pudding

This nifty little recipe will allow you to make your own home-made instant pudding! It relies on instant clear jel, which will set cold liquids. (Clear Jel and INSTANT Clear Jel are not the same thing - make sure you get the instant!) It's a modified corn starch, and gluten-free. You can also produce the powder in bulk (48 pkts of Equal, 2 c clear jel, 2 T vanilla powder, 1/2 t salt), and mix 3/4 c of that with 2 cups of milk. Adapted from http://bit.ly/10Aiaui
