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.

On Good Eats, Alton Brown suggested freezing them using dry ice as the
initial freezing method. His reasoning was colder temps = faster freeze
= smaller ice crystals. You might get away with just using your freezer.

Halloween's coming up, so just forget the trick or treating and have a
potluck! Bring strawberry pie, an extremely simple dish. Simply slice
your strawberries, and use a pie crust (premade from the store's great)
and strawberry glaze. Combine the strawberry glaze and berries, and put
in the crust. Serve alone or with whipped cream.

You might want to try making a strawberry sorbet. I've never tried
anything but store bought, but it's good.
