Any Home Bakers Here?

Question for you pie bakers...

I have a bag of mixed frozen berries and want to make a pie with them. There are recipes for cooking the berries first and there are recipes that don't call for cooking them (they all include sugar & cornstarch for thickening).

Anyone know which turns out better? Cooked or just left frozen?

It would be safer to cook to boiling so that the corn starch thickens evenly.

Yeah, that’s my problem. Of course, I keep forgetting about a chicken pizza with Alfredo sauce.

Do you mind posting the recipe? That sounds like my kind of pizza!

No one believes you.

Won't you be surprised when @BullChick shows up at your door!

OMG! Those look sooooo good! Darn it, now I want pizza and I don't have cheese.

Made pizzas today. Went down well. Not made them for a bit.

Aria, good to see you back. So sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts.

Thank you. I was wishing for pizza...but not in a mood to make. Would like a piece of yours. Hopefully I will get to make some soon. Have not been in the best of spirits. Regards, Aria

Don't worry about it, it is never going to happen. She can't even leave her house.

My mother precooked her berry fillings and they set up very nicely.

My mom dumped in a can of berry pie filling from the store!

Oh heck Ma was not a great cook Grandma taught me allot of what I still know to cook. Other things I lean from trial and error..
My Dad was a great cook

That does not favorably compare to freshly picked berries.
