    Slice 1/3 of the strawberries in half. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the halved strawberries, the whole strawberries, the sugar, and the vanilla extract. Cook, stirring now and then, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.

  2. 2

    Carefully puree 1/3 of the sauce mixture in an electric blender. Stir it back into the remaining sauce.
