Make jam! It's also rhubarb season, so strawberry rhubarb jam is a pretty good, fairly low calorie jam (since neither strawberries nor rhubarb have much in the way of calories, and the strawberries already have a lot of sweetness).
Freezing them for later on in the summer is also great, so you can have them later. I used all my frozen strawberries on angel food cake. Angel food cake is pretty low calorie for cake, and also delicious.
Through really, looking at your picture, between freezing some, eating plain strawberries, putting them in smoothies, and/or baking, those would be gone in days at my house.0 -
Homemade strawberry ice cream or cheesecake. Mmmm! (Frozen into small portions so I can have some within my calories).0

You're lucky0

To make them last longer while you decide what to do, rinse them in 1 part white vinegar to 10 parts water (I usually do about 1/4 to 1/3 cup vinegar then fill the measuring cup all the way up to the top past the 2 cup mark). I let them soak for a minute or so then rinse them really good. Helps them last longer!
ETA: this method helps me make a giant bucket of them last close to 2 weeks. I eat a TON every day but its usually just me so this helps me portion them out.0 -

If you have a juicer, you can juice them into anything, or just blend them whole into yogert. with a banana, blueberries, pineapple juice, apple juice, whatever you like!
You can make jams, jellies, pies, popovers, tarts, whatever you want. Love strawberries sliced and topped with whipped cream.0 -
Pancakes and tarts!0

Jam for sure and then freeze some.0

Failing that make jam. Happy eating0 -
Mash some of em' up with banana & coconut & some coconut water freeze on a stick---dip in chocolate sauce or add dark chocolate chips or carob and refreeze--then eat!!!!!! And invite me over0

Toss them in your salad! One of my favorite lunch salads is spinach, walnuts, strawberries, goat or feta cheese crumbles with balsamic vinaigrette. You can also make a salsa of strawberries, mangoes, cilantro, red onion and lime juice. Serve it with tortilla chip or over fish or chicken. Strawberries are the bomb! I'm so jealous you bought a crate for only $5. I thought I got a deal at target today because a pint was $2.50...sigh. Enjoy!0

I will come over and help you eat them!!!!0

Freeze them! They make a refreshing treat for the summertime.0

Whoa, those look like the small-farm grown ones. The strawberries are smaller but taste much better. A box like that tends to run $20-$28 where I'm at. How'd you get it for only 5 freakin' bucks? I'm jealous. Keep half in your fridge to munch on as snacks and freeze the other half. They are small which is perfect to drop in the blender for smoothie or protein shakes.0

If you want a topping over ice cream or cake, slice up some strawberries, sprinkle some sugar over them in a bowl, cover and let them sit on the counter for a couple hours. The sugar draws out the strawberry juices and it becomes a wonderful, raw, chunky sauce. Yum!0

Make fruit leather or dry the strawberries, and add to cereals or oatmeal.0

Jealous! I love strawberries, just as they are.
Definitely jam some, homemade jam is lovely. Last year, I made some strawberry and mint curd (googled a recipe) that was not difficult, and tasted amazing.To make them last longer while you decide what to do, rinse them in 1 part white vinegar to 10 parts water (I usually do about 1/4 to 1/3 cup vinegar then fill the measuring cup all the way up to the top past the 2 cup mark).
