Slice and core your strawberries and place them in a large bowl.
Toss with sugar until well coated and the sugar is completely moistened.
Allow the strawberry mixture to sit at room temperature for 2 hours, tossing halfway through.
After 2 hours, strain the strawberry syrup from the strawberry solids using a fine mesh strainer. Reserve the syrup, discard or save the strawberries for another use.
After cooling time, transfer the syrup to a syrup bottle or mason jar with a lid and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
