I start out with Vodka or Everclear to preserve the fruit, then strain
that off and add brandy.

Why don't you just start out with the brandy? It will preserve the fruit
just as well as Vodka.

Faster results.
Higher Octane.

I only soak it in the stronger stuff for one day.

You could try making fruit leather. You cook the fruit down with
sugar, like making jam, then spread in a thin layer in a glass pan,
and lay it out in the sun for a few days. Resulting product is thin
and intensely flavored.

Look up a real recipe - this is off the top of my head. We made this
out of apricots and plums when I was a kid since that's what our gluts
were.

Delicious eaten straight from the freezer - great snack if you are on a slimming diet! - if possible freeze them on a tray first so that the strawberries are not touching and then bag them. They will go soggy once thawed but are great in desserts such as jelly or puree them.

They can be washed well, frozen in a plastic bag or container. My grandmother in the past that they can in a sugar syrup. In both cases, they lose their consistency and can lose its colour. However, the winter comes, strawberry flavour is unmatched.
