I know GayleMO asked for this earlier and Sylvia responded...but I don't want to add wine to my sauce. (Just that I've never tasted that sort of thing and would love to try it another time but not tonight). I need something ASAP that's in place of the canned pie filling which the recipe calls for. I know it's just a simple thing like cornstarch and sugar, but I need measurements. I have the blueberries frozen from last summer. What liquid and how much? I couldn't find it in the few cookbooks I looked through last night. Thanks for the help!

 
Here are a few, a variety for you to choose from...

1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup blueberries
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp sugar

Combine and simmer over low heat until berries begin to burst. Stir until smooth.

---

1 cup apple juice
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 Tbsp cornstarch

Mix apple juice and cornstarch in saucepan until there are no lumps. Add berries and cook, stirring constantly, over moderate heat until sauce clears and thickens.

---

2 cups blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp orange juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla, not until cooked

Process first 4 ingredients in a blender. Place in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute, and then add vanilla.

---

4 cups fresh or frozen (thawed) blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 T red wine vinegar
1/4 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1/8 t ground mace
1/8 t ground cloves

Place blueberries in medium-size heavy saucepan. Add remaining ingredients and toss gently.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes. Then raise heat and boil for 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium again and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours. Makes 2 cups.

2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 Tbsp flour
4 Tbsp lemon juice

Simmer until of uniform consistency.
