Simple Strawberries

This is our standard strawberry recipe. Absolutely simple, but good enough to serve with cream at the poshest of dinner parties. The sugar and lemon draws the juice out of the strawberries, resulting in lots of lovely pink 'sauce' - so do try to soak them for at least 2 hours. (Preparation time does not include time needed to macerate the strawberries.)
