  1. For Curd: Combine lemon juice, sugar and egg yolks in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until mixture thickens and just comes to boil, about 6 minutes. Transfer curd to medium bowl; set aside to cool. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  2. For Biscuits: Preheat oven to 400°F. Using vegetable peeler, remove peel from lemon in strips. Squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from lemon; reserve juice. Place peel and 3 tablespoons sugar in processor. Blend until peel is finely ground. Add flour, cornmeal, baking powder,salt and baking soda; process to blend. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 6 tablespoons cream and 2 tablespoons lemon juice; process just until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk.
  3. Pat out dough on lightly floured surface to 3/4-inch-thick round. Using floured 2 1/2-inch-diameter cutter, cut out rounds. Gather scraps; pat out to 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut out enough additional rounds to equal a total of 6. Place on heavy large baking sheet. Brush with 2 tablespoons cream. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar.
  4. Bake biscuits until cooked through and golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to plate. Cool. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  5. For Sauce: Combine 1 1/2 cups blueberries, water, blueberry spread and sugar in heavy small saucepan. Stir gently over medium-high heat until mixture come to boil and berries begin to release juices, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in 1 1/2 cups blueberries. Cool.
