a desert w/ the berries, making it immediately usually immersed them in a sugar-laden mix, in preparation for your next step in the recipe you were making, and then the berries were incorporated into your recipe by then, e.g., add to a cake mix or add to a Jello mix or something similar. The recipes usually didn't last long either. We also dried strawberries too, and saved them this way, they seemed to last longer (a dehumidifier).

But, yes, those methods are useful...
