Red, White and Blueberry Tart image

This recipe is from Splenda.com. It is very easy to make and delicious. A great summertime treat for fresh berries and the presentation is so elegant. This would be a great tart for the 4th of July. The recipe calls for a premade crust. I used Flaky Pie Crust Recipe #20984 by Teresa M.
