Steps:
- Whisk the juice, sugar eggs and yolks together in a saucepan, being careful not to aerate it too much. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly but gently with the whisk. Cook until it thickens and the whisk leaves light lines; it will still be quite liquid. Do not let it boil. Strain it into a bowl and press plastic wrap onto the hot surface.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Invert a 10-inch cake pan over the dough (towards the edge of the tray so you waste a minimum amount of dough) and press. Lift off and use a pizza cutter to cut around the imprint of the circle. Lift the circle of dough out and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Dock it. Center the round metal bottom of 9-inch tart mold over the dough and press. Cut around at 1-inch intervals to form a decorative "fringe". Weigh the metal bottom down with heavy objects. (I place an 8-inch cake pan on top and fill it with stacked tartlet molds - about 3 1/2 pounds worth.)
- Bake about 18 minutes, until the edges are golden, then remove the weights and metal tart bottom. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the center is golden. Remove from oven and spread the lemon curd evenly in the center. Put back in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to set the filling. Remove from oven and scatter the berries around the outside edge of the lemon filling. Serve within an hour. Cut with a pizza wheel.

- Cook until it thickens and the whisk leaves light lines; it will still be quite liquid. (Do not let it boil.) Strain it into a bowl and press plastic wrap onto the warm mixture. (This is to prevent filming.).

- Weigh the metal bottom down with heavy objects. (Such as an 8-inch cake pan on top and fill it with 3 pounds of anything from a heavy pot or pan to garden stones.).
- Bake about 20 minutes, until the edges are golden, then remove the weights and metal tart bottom. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and bake for another 5 minutes, until the center is golden.
- Remove from oven and spread the lemon curd evenly in the center. Put back in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to set the filling.

Tips:
- To achieve a flaky and crispy crust, ensure that the butter is cold and cubed. This prevents the gluten in the flour from developing too much, which can result in a tough crust.
- When rolling out the puff pastry dough, work quickly and avoid overworking it. Overworking the dough can make it tough.
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the filling. Frozen blueberries can be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
- To prevent the filling from becoming too runny, toss the blueberries with a bit of cornstarch before adding them to the tart.
- If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice. However, fresh lemon juice will provide a brighter, more flavorful taste.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. It can be garnished with fresh mint or powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.
