Jam and more jam.
Send me a jar.

wash, slice in half and add a splash of balsamic vinegar and i promise you there is no such thing as too many.

Daiquiri.

Jam was "invented" to preserve fruit, so that's plan A. You can make home made ice-cream, sorbet etc which will keep a few months too. Otherwise it's cakes, deserts and some on top of your cereal.

if making jam, make sure you throw in some gooseberries to get it to set. Not much pectin in strawberries.

freeze washed and sliced in half.
Then add to fruit smoothies instead of ice

Deep dish baked vanilla and strawberry cheesecake.

Use the following recipe but omit the bain marie and cook for 1hr 15mins at 160, obviously replacing the raspberries with strawberries. It doesn't need the maple syrup...

I added an extra vanilla pod and a tablespoon of vanilla paste. Super creamy and rich; you can feel your arteries clogging just looking at it. Don't make if it's just you and a partner - it makes far too much and you'll be eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maybe even a quick slice before bed. And one at around 3am...

You just need a matching glut of double cream, Shirley?

This Nigel Slater one's dead easy:

Strawberry sorbet

A vivid scarlet sorbet of the purest flavour. Make it now while the berries are cheap and sweet. Serves 4-6.

125g caster sugar
120ml water
250g strawberries
the juice of half a lemon

Put the sugar in a saucepan with the water and bring to the boil. You can remove it from the heat as soon as the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool.

Rinse and hull the strawberries, then whizz them in a blender or food processor till smooth. Add the lemon juice, then stir the strawberry purée into the cold sugar syrup. Now either pour the mixture into an ice-cream machine and churn till frozen or pour into a freezer box and place in the freezer. Leave for a good couple of hours then remove and beat the freezing edges into the middle with a whisk. Refreeze for a further 2 hours, then beat once more, again bringing in the ice crystals from the outside into the middle. Return to the freezer till firm.

Strawberry wine? I've never made any but there's plenty of recipes on t'interweb.
Looks relatively easy too!

Too many Strawberries to eat?

Nope sorry don't understand that.

Smoothie, then add vodka

Strawberry glue?

Given the OP's name Shirley some sort of (Strawberry) cake would be the best bet?

Strawberry Daiquiri

Cornish ice cream, strawberries and banana. Yum!!

Jam. Strawberries are low in pectin so make sure you use the proper jam sugar, or you'll never get it to set.

Also very nice with home-made meringue.
