I am making your strawberry pie filling and it says to have 1 1/2” headspace in the quarter jar. I’m doing mine in pints and the bubble reminded ver and measuring device only goes to 1”z
What do I do?

Pie fillings are 1 inch headspace, and I went back and checked the article and it does say 1 inch. (If you see 1 1/2 somewhere, let me know, I'll go fix it.) That said, I'd leave a generous 1'' headspace because the clearjel expands as it's canned and it does tend to overflow the jars if you're not generous with headspace.
The only thing that I can think of that has over 1'' headspace is chicken, and that's because it's sometimes canned bone in and you want the bones to be well below the top of the jar so they don't poke up and mess with the seal. For that, you'll just have to eyeball it, but everything else is under 1'' (as far as I can think of at the moment at least).
It was the water bath recipe. They did overflow a bit so I had some jars to clean up this morning. I got pretty nervous for a while during the mixing of the sugar, clear jel and water to a boil. I was getting these clumps of brown, I used natural turbinado sugar, but I just kept whisking and it came together. Very thick but smooth.
Thank you for your education. I do want to try pressure canning a whole bird too. I’ll be getting back with you on that one.
