Strawberry Filling for Crepes

I made some crepes the other night and needed a "filling" to go inside! I found this strawberry filling but I can't remember where! It was very yummy and the kids and John loved it!

Crepes ~ click on "crepes"on my sidebar for recipe
1T. butter
1 c. frozen strawberries
1 T.cold water
1/4 t.cornstarch
4 t. sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 t. cinnamon {optional}
1/4 t.vanilla {optional}
In a pot, melt butter on medium heat. Put in frozen strawberries. Dissolve cornstarch in water, add to pot. Add sugar and salt.Stir and turn heat down to low-medium. Allow to simmer till strawberries are soft. Smoosh strawberries with spoon. If you'd like a little thicker consistency, allow to simmer for a little longer on low heat, uncovered. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Add cinnamon and vanilla if you want. Place about a 1/4 c. filling in each crepe and roll. Make pretty by garnishing with fresh berries, whipped topping, and powdered sugar! Justin had his with syrup and ate about 10!!
