Steps:
- FOR CRUST: Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease bottom of a 13 x 9 inch baking dish (so parchment will not stick to dish) and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both sides.

- Press mixture evenly into bottom of parchment in baking dish to form the crust. Refrigerate until needed.
- FOR FILLING: In a large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until fully incorporated.
- Spread mixture over chilled crust with offset spatula to smooth out the top.
- Sprinkle fresh blueberries evenly over filling, then spread blueberry preserves on top.
- Place baking dish in oven and bake for 27-30 minutes, or until center is just set but still jiggles.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely prior to refrigerating at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Use parchment paper overhang to remove cheesecake from baking dish. Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy that luscious, light and lemony blueberry tart sweet goodness!
