2 tablespoons solid shortening

11 ounces apricot preserves

For pastry: Combine flour, butter, shortening and 1 tablespoon sugar in

Discard paper and beans; let tart shell cool.
For sauce: Mix 1/2 cup sugar with cornstarch. Combine 2 cups blueberries,
sugar, lemon juice, currant jelly and lemon peel in medium saucepan and
bring to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring
constantly until thickened, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer

Spread remaining 2 cups blueberries in shell. Carefully pour sauce over top.
