Yum!!! This is super easy to make and really, really tasty. I followed the recipe as written, except that I used a ready made graham cracker crust for convenience. The fresh blueberry filling was a nice contrast to the creamy lemon layers. I'll make this one again for sure - thanks for sharing, Kittencal!

This pie is exceptional. I made a few changes such as: I used 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice and 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice. I also didn't put that second layer of lemon filling on top of the blueberry filling. However the pie was outstantanding and I received many compliments on this one. I also brought a ready made graham cracker crust to save time. But I also like the fact that this is a cheap dessert wth an expensive taste!!!!

First, I am only rated based on others. I made this for the lunches I sell at work. I made one change. Due to forgetting graham craker crumbs, I used a prepared crust. Most everyone loved it. Just as a note, I softened (warmed) the blueberry preserves in the microwave before blending with the fresh blueberries. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
