I have just picked about 2kg (6lb) of strawberrys and more will be ready
next week. Other than jam how can I preserve them or keep them in a usable
form? Is there some sort of frozen dessert or sauce that uses up lots?

I am not sending them anywhere so don't bother asking.

Clean some and halve them, put them into a quart jar firmly but not
tightly packed.

Cover them with vodka.

They will fade in color (get very pale) but still be edible and the
strawberry infused vodka is fantastic. ;-)

Sweeten with sugar as desired.
