Hmm. I don't believe I've ever heard of strawberry syllabub. Would you
be thinking of a fool, by any chance? Syllabub is a foamy/creamy
concoction usually made with wine. A fool uses fruit, normally mixed
with whipped cream or a custard-y element. They tend to be pretty late
period, though, IIRC. I'll see what I can find, but what immediately
comes to mind is any of several variants on fresees, a sauce or pottage
made from thickened, strained strawberry puree. Basically the equivalent
of syrosye, made with strawberries instead of cherries.
