Why did the strawberries freeze in my ice cream?

I used Jeni's recipe for macerated strawberries which is 1 pint of strawberries tossed with 1/2 cup sugar.

I chopped the strawberries and tossed them in the sugar and let them sit overnight. After my ice cream was done churning, I strained the strawberries and folded them into the ice cream before freezing.

I thought letting them sit in the sugar was supposed to keep them from freezing solid, but it didn't. Is it because I strained them?
