Will Ethanol work in jet engines?

E85 is fine for piston engines - 105 octane, less engine wear, less pollution.
Freezing point is -114C so that's no problem. Anyone know if ethanol can be made to work in jet engines? .. if not we can always build some more Stratocruisers, Super Connies, DC-7C's .. bring back the romance of aviation!
