This recipe was a big hit. To crush the grahmn crackers I put them in a baggie and used my rolling pin. Also then I used the same baggie over my hand to press the grahmn cracker crust into the 13x9 pan. Using a back of a spoon made it easier to spread the blueberry preserves.

Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! I made this recipe once for one of my daughters' functions. It was such a hit, I was asked to make it twice more!!! The low-fat cream cheese is also great!!

I made a no bake cheesecake on top of this recipe so the blueberries would be plump and fresh and it came out awesome as well!

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. The only problem I had was trying to keep the graham cracker crust down while spreading the blueberry jam on top.

I loved this recipe! It was very easy to make and it did not require alot of different ingredients. I made this recipe for Father's Day and my family also loved it and are already requesting that I make it for the 4th of July. This recipe is a keeper.

I was given this to make by a gentleman whom said it was fantastic. His entire club loved it. I do plan on making it but was considering using strawberries instead, since I believe more people enjoy strawberries.

Delicious, and I don't even care for blueberries very much. The second time I made it I used blackberries with blackberry jam. Wow! It's great! I can't wait to try substituting strawberries and strawberry jam. I'll also use the parchment paper suggestion to keep the crusts looking pretty - the first piece is difficult to get out of the pan.
