Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. While the crust bakes, blend the blueberries until smooth.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, and salt. Mix in the blended blueberries until well-combined.
  6. Pour the blueberry curd over the baked crust and return to the oven.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until set.
  8. Let the bars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
