I had six large leftover store bought strawberries and decided to macerate them overnight to make a quick Single Serving of Homemade Strawberry Pancake Syrup. This made a very nice breakfast folks! The only prep and planning ahead was cutting the berries into 1/4" slices and sprinkling them with a little sugar. The next morning I mashed them with a fork and a little cornstarch thickened the mixture. Easy and very tasty:@)
