Matzo Tart with Orange Curd





Yields

The sweet-tart citrus filling and fresh blueberries in this tart taste like spring. Notes: You can make the crust a day ahead and store it airtight at room temperature, but fill it on the day you'll be serving.

 1/3 cup sugar
 1/2 cup margarine or butter, cut into chunks
 1 large egg
  Filling:
 1 cup sugar
 1/4 cup potato starch
 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
 3/4 cup orange juice
 1/4 cup lemon juice
