Strain the mixture through a fine sieve then divide the mixture into 4-6 small glasses, ramekins, or small jars.
Refrigerate uncovered for 3 hours until set. You can place plastic wrap over the glasses after three hours until ready to serve.
Make the strawberry sauce by combining the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and blend with an immersion blender or regular blender. Set aside to cool for a while then place into the refrigerator until needed.
To serve, pour some of the strawberry sauce on top of each posset then serve. Enjoy.
