This warm, velvety sauce is naturally sweetened with honey or agave nectar. Use it to dunk slices of healthy fruits, such as apples, cherries, orange slices, raspberries, strawberries, bananas, dried apricots and pineapple. It also makes a rich-tasting topping for low-fat vanilla ice cream or vanilla frozen desserts made with soy, coconut or rice.
