Steps:
- You will need a tupperware type container with a lid.
- First, slice as many strawberries as you would like and place them in the container.
- Then add as much sugar as you wish.
- The more sugar makes more syrup.
- I usually add enough to fully coat the strawberries.
- Now put the lid on the container and tumble the strawberries for a minute so they can get saturated in the sugar.
- Now refrigerate the container for a couple of hours, and you will have the tastiest, sweetest strawberries in their own syrup.
- (I usually leave them in the refrigerator over night).

- Prepare your strawberries properly: Hull the strawberries and cut them into uniform pieces. If you're using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your recipes will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs.
- Don't overcook your strawberries: Strawberries are delicate and can easily become mushy if overcooked. Cook them just until they are softened and heated through.
- Experiment with different flavors: Strawberries pair well with a variety of flavors, from sweet to tart to savory. Try adding them to salads, smoothies, pies, tarts, and even savory dishes like grilled chicken or fish.

Strawberries are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
