What are some things I can do with a bunch of STRAWBERRIES?

I have a bunch of strawberries that are about to go bad. Anybody got any ideas as to what I could do with them? I actually need something with very few ingredients. If I can't find anything I could always throw them in the blender and make a smoothie or something. My second idea is to freeze them and make sorbet. But I'd really like something baked.
Better question: what CAN'T you do with strawberries?
You could dip them in chocolate, you could put them on a cake, you could throw them in the air and dance in your own strawberry rain, or you could make some muffins

Make a pie!! You know apple, blueberry, blackberry, cherry.....they ALL have pies. What about the poor strawberry?! I bet it feels left out! :'( Stuff it in a pie and make it feel better, why don't you! ;) ;D
Strawberry shortcake! make up some sweet biskets and toss on hulled and cupped strawberries! Super easy and yummy--reminds me of summer :) you can also whip up some cream with soy half and half!

ok just kidding. its not a link. but you can copy and paste it into the little "type the address thing here" box.
im lazy.
and i secretly dont know how to make links.
they dont have THAT many ingredients really..ok they sort of do. but theyre yummy? so maybe ingredients will magically appear to allow yumminess to happen? hm. things you could leave out..ive left out the apple juice in the filling before and it was fine..and you dont need the food color..so..yes. MAKE THEM.
pie sounds yummy too.
OR.
i just thought of this.
ship me the strawberries. ill make the cupcakes (ive had this urge to bake lately) and then ship one back to you. or maybe two. it really depends on how many i scarf down before my family gets to them i mean..eat daintily.
;D
jam!

Would it be bad if I didn't use the coconut extract?
Thanks everyone for the great ideas!

i made the "apple crunch muffins" w/ strawberries and they were awesome!
you could also freeze them too.

eat them til you burst, don't worry about preparation, that just makes it MORE stuff you have to eat. easier to conquer those suckers on their own.

It will still turn out well if you replace it with more vanilla or even almond, however, the coconut doesn't make it taste coconutty but rather buttery.
Were they organic?
Strawberries are one of the foods with the most residual pesticides.
