Preparation
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of fresh blueberries with sugar, stirring until the mixture begins to bubble.
- In a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch until smooth, then add this to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently until the compote thickens.
- Once thickened, stir in remaining blueberries and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar for Lemon Curd until smooth. Gradually add the lemon juice, then place the pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Remove from heat and whisk in cold butter and lemon zest, then cover and refrigerate to cool.
- Choose either a homemade or pre-made tart shell ensuring it's cooled. Pour the lemon curd into the cooled tart shell.
- Spoon blueberry compote evenly over the top, creating a layering effect. Refrigerate the assembled tart for at least one hour.
- Serve each piece with a garnish of fresh mint or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes
Be patient while cooking the lemon curd to avoid curdling. Opt for fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
