Recipe(tried): Strawberry Sauce

Hi J. Sue,

I have a delicious Strawberry Sauce recipe that I use for a Strawberry Banana Layer Cake and also to drizzle over cheesecake. It yields an exquistite sommewhat chunky strawberry sauce.
You could simply add sliced bananas to it.

Strawberry Sauce

2 pints strawberries, hulled and halved if large
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Puree 1 pint of the strawberries in a food processor with the honey, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth. Add the remaining 1 pint of strawberries and pulse until chopped but not liquified.
