Macerating and sugaring strawberries make an incredible addition to serve over cakes, yogurt, or even a simple bowl of vanilla ice cream. The sugar draws out natural juices in the berries and makes an incredible sauce of goodness.
You’ll also love adding sugared strawberries to recipes like Strawberry Waffles, Sour Cream Pancakes, Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream, Virgin Mojito, Instant Pot Iced Tea, Cold Start Instant Pot Yogurt, or a Moscow Mule Mocktail.
If you’re looking for a blended option, try this Strawberry Puree. Need something safe for canning? You’ll want to check out our Strawberry Syrup. And if you’re a budding mixologist, you’ll love our Strawberry Simple Syrup.
How Long Can You Macerate Strawberries?
You’ll want to let the sugar and strawberries sit for at least 30 minutes. The longer you let them sit, the juicier they will get. Cover and refrigerate if you’re letting them macerate for over 3 hours.
How Long Do Macerated Strawberries Last in the Fridge?
Sugared strawberries in an air-tight container will last for up to four days in the fridge. To freeze, place in ice cube trays, souper cubes, freezer bags, or small canning jars (4 and 8 oz are my favorites), and store for 3-6 months.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- Scrape a bit of vanilla seed (or use Vanilla Extract) and mix it into the strawberries for an even more delicious flavor.
- Drizzle some mint simple syrup over the top just before serving.
- Honey can also be used but will not draw out as much juice as cane sugar.
- Stir in a bit of lemon or lime zest for a “zippier” flavor.

I am kind of obsessed with the Souper Cubes and I *believe* there were created by food bloggers. I actually just defrosted a cube of these strawberries for another recipe that I’m testing.
