Re: Cherry-Berry Pie
Be careful about this. It does have some processed stuff in it. What do the canned cherries have in them, I wonder? Be aware that corn starch is very processed and so is the pudding. Just, if you choose to eat this, make it an occasional food.

Re: Cherry-Berry Pie
The Cherries are canned with water only. Make sure and get the cherries that say tart red cherries. The pudding is optional and they are so good without that it is not needed. That way it can be an all the time meal.

Re: Cherry-Berry Pie
I haven't tried this yet but I was wondering if it would still be good if I used a banana instead of the cornstarch?

Re: Cherry-Berry Pie
This pie is sooo delicious! I might think banana would change the taste alot since it is such a strong taste. You could certainly try it and see how it works it might be really good. I would probably prefer the corn starch or maybe even add a little raspberry sugar free jello to thicken. But then maybe it has thickener in it that is equivalent to corn starch I am not sure.

Re: Cherry-Berry Pie
Wendy, I just checked out your recipe for Cherry-Berry Pie. Sounds good. But I do have a question: Just recently I had to eat just berries for my fruit and was surprised to see that my local grocery store only had frozen Raspberries that had Added Sugar! . So I just want to make a note to double check the ingredients list. I thought all the berries were just berries . . . boy, was I wrong. I will definitely make this recipe but I will substitute frozen blackberries instead of raspberries.

Re: Cherry-Berry Pie
In our frozen section I find the all berry raspberries. There is also raspberries that have had sugar added.

Re: Cherry-Berry Pie
Thanks, Wendy. I'll keep looking. I'll have to try a different grocery store. I sure was unhappy about the sugar. Keep giving us these good recipes
