Simmer the strawberries for 20-25 minutes, stirring now and again, until a sugar thermometer reads 105C. Stir regularly towards the end to avoid the sugar catching. Pour in the Pimm’s and stir well. Spoon a little onto one of the plates from the freezer. It should wrinkle and form a skin. If it doesn’t, simmer for another 10 minutes then test again.
