3. Place blintzes in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in a 400 F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through.

4. Meanwhile, for sause, in a small saucepan stir together the remaining 1/2 teaspoon orange peel, the orange juice, cornstarch, granulated sugar and cardamom. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Stir in the remaining 1 cup blueberries. Spoon the sauce over warm blintzes.
