Gah got cut off

Bought some short crust pastry from Aldi. How do I turn this into a berry tart? Should I just cook the berries with some sugar, bake the pastry, and then add the berry mix and cool it? Or should I bake the pastry with the berries already inside?

Stew the fruit with sugar to taste and put into an oven proof dish, then put the pastry on top / into the oven at 180 degrees for about 25 minutes. In this weather serve with cream or ice cream. Yummy!

That’s a pie, not a tart. Blind bake the pastry, cook the berries in a pan with plenty sugar whilst the pastry is baking. Brush the bottom of the tart case with beaten egg to “seal” it then add the fruit and finish off in the oven. Yum’

I guess I was worried about a soggy bottom 🤣

Thank you both! Went for the second method and it turned out well.
