Blueberry Jam Stuff (for Lara)

In a saucepan, over medium heat combine:

1 package frozen blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

Heat until bubbling and hot (you may have to turn heat up and stir).

Then add:
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 Tablespoons (or less) of cornstarch

And continue stirring and heating until bubbly and thick (until it coats the back of a spoon).

I have used mixed berries, strawberries, or a combo of any berries... Taste test it because depending on what brand or type of berries I use, I have to add more or less sugar, and sometimes I have to vary the amounts of cornstarch and water.
Basically, what it boils down to, is that there is no recipe!

I pour it in a gravy boat or a creamer and use it to pour over pancakes and waffles hot.
Then I put it in fridge, where it thickens overnight, and makes excellent jam to put over toast or English Muffins.
