Preparation:

1. Combine cornstarch and sugar; stir in water, blueberries, lemon rind and juice. 2. Cook over low heat, stirring until flummery bubbles and thickens. 3. Spoon into sherbet glasses; chill. 4.

NOTE: It is said that Flummery, an innovation of the Shakers, grew out of the love and attention they traditionally gave to their older members. They developed special diets and special dishes for the aged. Easily mouthed and digested, Flummery was one of the favorite desserts.
