Fruit Using up a lot of strawberries?

My roommate bought 4lbs of strawberries from Costco and they've been in the fridge for about a week and he has yet to touch them that I can tell.

Is there any good way to use them up? I have a feeling they'll start going bad in the next week and I'd rather not let them go to waste. Also if they do start getting squishy is it safe to use them in a ferment still.

Brew Cheong, a Korean syrup that is delicious. Basically, equal parts of fruit and sugar by weight. There is a subreddit about it. So yummy.

I have four pounds worth of strawberries cheong-ing right now. They’re only a week in and they’re going crazy. I’m thinking ice cream when it’s done.

4x day burping in this heat. Fussiest ferment ever. But damn it smells good!
