Now arrange a layer of strawberries in a wide, deep dish and sprinkle it with a small amount of sugar, then add another layer of berries and sprinkle that with sugar as well. The final layer of strawberries should be sprinkled more generously with sugar, about 1 cup. Place the dish with berries in the refrigerator for about 10–12 hours.
