Thanks for the crust tips! I'm ok with the concept that they just aren't my thing -- but hey, I can do breads and cake and cookies, and you can use many of those for "crust"

Was going to mention blackberry cobbler or similar baked with topping options. I like nutmeg and zested orange with blackberries. Works well with the frozen berries. I usually use tapioca or cornstarch as a thickener for the berries, again cooking out the flour doesn't seem to be my thing but I have options!

One idea is a Poke cake. Mash 1 1/2 cups berries with 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and a little lemon juice to pour over top of cake with holes poked all over. I made one with blueberries that was great.
