Add boullion cubes and stir about one minute, until dissolved. Mix corn starch with 1/2 c. water. Whisk corn starch mixture into boiling juices, stirring vigorously, and scraping sides and bottom of pan until gravy thickens. If you prefer thicker gravy, prepare more cornstarch mixture and add gradually until desired consistency is reached. Serve immediately
